We didn't use "su" again to entering root privilege. Instead we are 
using "sudo" to perform a root task but still using normal account. Like 
this, imagine you want to chmod some files on /etc (just a sample, never 
chmod them hehehe), you will use this:

$sudo chmod 777 /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And when you were asked for password just simply use your user password.

But if you insist to using "su" you can use "sudo su", the same way like I 
given above.
