How do I make my self admin and use admin commands

I have just tried to get rid of a file but it say i need to be a superuser how would i be able to make my self one and how would i be able to make new users?
I am currently logging in as pi.

You need sudo before a command to make it run with admin (root) rights, alternatively you could just use sudo su instead to login as root without a password.

it wont let me login as root!
what command in the LXTerminal do I need to do to make pi a admin?

To run commands as root prefix them with "sudo", as in "sudo rm /that/file" or similar. You'll be prompted to enter your password. This only works if you have permissions granted for sudo via the file /etc/sudoers (but user pi has that permission). If you want to do lots as user root, you can do "sudo bash" to give you a shell prompt with root privileges.

To create new users from the command line at least, use the "useradd" command. Type "man useradd" to figure out how..

sudo adduser name

so how would i delete the file?

how do i delete it?

User pi is already an admin, unless you have changed something. To delete a file:

Code: Select all

rm FILE

To delete a file in a place that is owned by a different user:

Code: Select all

sudo rm FILE
