OMG shoot me.....

Can try that I guess. I tried sudo -s and it did nothing

-s or -i ?

It was -s

I'm not sure what -s does, but the -i option is for "interactive" - meaning that you run the command line interactively, rather than one job at a time.

Also, if you have several commands that you need to run as root, but all one-after-another, you can enter the first, then after entering your password, the rest will not ask for your password again (as long as you run those in short time.) For example, if you need to update/upgrade your system, run the "sudo apt update" (to get the most up-to-date depositories,) then run right away "sudo apt upgrade" (to get most up-to-date programs/packages.) The upgrade command will not ask for your password.
