If you really want full root privileges
edit the  /etc/passwd

example content of passwd file"

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash  | this is root account
arnel:x:1014:1014:Arnel,,,:/home/arnel:/bin/bash | this is an ordinary user

first copy that line to be safe comment it so that if there's a problem with
your account someday you set it back.
# arnel:x:1014:1014:Arnel,,,:/home/arnel:/bin/bash

then
arnel:0:0:Arnel,,,:/home/arnel:/bin/bash

save it :)
