Hi Dave.
Well I'm quite new to all of this myself. It sounds as though you
may have forgotten your root password and therefore want to give
your user account SU privilages so as to select a new one. If this
is so I think you may struggle. Before any permissions can be given
you must first be in root which of course requires the password.
Maybe someone knows of a hack to get round this.
Good luck
