I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in VirtualBox 4.0.2 and created an account for myself. In Ubuntu, I set the account type for myself as "Administrator". However, when I still don't seem to have admin privileges. For example, when I try to install Guest Additions, it says that I don't have admin privileges. Also, if I enter "su" in Terminal and use my password, it fails to authenticate me. Please help!

Ubuntu uses sudo.
