Open a terminal emulation, use the menu to do it, you already found out
how to do this.
It will look similar to this:
[spinymouse@archlinux ~]$
Then type su - and push enter
[spinymouse@archlinux ~]$ su -
Password:
You will be asked for the "admin" password. Type the password and hit
enter.
[root@archlinux ~]#
On a default Debian the prompt "$" is for a user and "#" for root, on
Arch it's the same just the [ ] differs to Debian. On Suse for example
the prompt for the user by default is ">".
Or else ...
If you push the Ctrl-key, Alt-key and F1-key at the same time you get a
real console. Then you need to type "root" and enter, and then you'll be
asked to type the password followed by enter. Ctrl-key, Alt-key and
F7-key will bring you back to X (your WM/DE).
