Su password fails

Was trying to enter some commands under su the root environment but the password fails, sudo password works ok any ideas?

Did you create a root password? or you just want to use your user password as a root password?

I dont know how to create a root password, I know how to run su user that works. So to create a root password would help.

Why do you need the root password?
You can do anything with your password as a root privilege

All sorted now many thanks.
