I'm trying to uninstall something and whenever I double click on the uninstaller, it tells me that I have to log in as root. So I open the terminal, type "sudo su" and then my password. It still tells me that I need to log in as root. What else do I have to do?

But, if the uninstaller is not a cli prog, then it should have an icon that looks like a lock somewhere. If you click on it it'll ask for an administrator password (and user id). If it doesn't have a lock icon, then you could try logging in as root from the login screen (command-shift-q will log you out, and bring you there).
