right when i type sudo rootgain it asks me for a passowrd
ut oh lol not having alot of luck am i
if i type root it lets me become root but its giving me the permisson denied so it must be giving me limited access with the root command but when i use the sudo rootgain it asks for a password
------------------EDIT----------------------
i have figured it out
i closed xterm down when asked for password , next time i ran sudo gainroot it didn ask for a password and the sheel was enabled :-) this meant i could use the command
cd MyDocs
and i jumped to that foler :-) happy days :-)
my problems stemmed from me not having full access , i used the command root , instead of sudo gainroot , this gives more privelages and lets me jump about etc
thankyou for all your help
pps
just incase is there a default password for sudo

This is what I did...
Open X Terminal
type in:
sudo gainroot
Then it should take you right to the /home/user directory. From there type:
cd MyDocs/
Hopefully it'll work for you.

Not sure what to suggest now other than the inevitable reboot. I can cd into any folder without any problems.
I think I need to sleep now, hope you can find a solution.
