Can someone enlighten me on how to actually become root through the already installed application manager path. I have heard of others doing this an it worked, or am I mislead and need to use the SSH way to gain root.

Thanks.
Uninstall the application and reinstall it. This will make sure that it installed properly. When you install it, it won't as you for a password when you type sudo su -

Thats my milage, I don't know if you'll get the same
