Perhaps the command you are looking for is:

	su

which allows you to change to any given user... ie.

	su fred

allows you to change your current user to fred (it will ask you for his
password unless you are currently root).

if you run the command:

	su

the system will assume you want to change to the root user and ask you for
that password.
