You cannot.  There is only 1 super user account, and that is root.  By
default, root is disabled, you can enable the root account by using sudo
passwd root, but since you asked this question, you really aren't ready
for that kind of destructive power.  But hey, it's your system, if you
break it, you get to keep both halves.
