In Linux, 'root' is the name of the user who has all rights on permissions in all modes (single or multi user). Normally this is the administrator's account. The user root can do many things an ordinary user cannot, such as changing the ownership of files and binding to a server port Linux.If a person 'has root access' it means that they are able to act as the administrator of that computer.

[edit] LiveCD

In Live-CD morphix, to just gain root-access in a terminal, type:

'sudo sh'

[edit] Hard Disk

In hard disk installed morphix, open the Gnome terminal type 'su' and the root user's login name, press Enter and introduze the root user's password. You can use too the 'Root Terminal', that you can install using Synaptic GKsu, because it's not by default in the hard diks installation) that will ask you the root password directly.
