Default Ubuntu Users v.AdminPassword

I can't think of the keystroke to get the login box to pop up where I can put in my password so I can edit admin folders. I'm trying to edit my Firefox bookmarks.html file and it won't let me.
Whats the keystroke?

edit admin folders?

Can you clarify that?

I think what you probably want to do is goto a terminal screen and type this:

sudo nano /directory/sub-dir/bookmarks_super_porn_editionTURBO.html

I'm trying to create backups of my firefox bookmarks(For XP and Linux) so I can redirect my linux bookmarks to read from the xp files(It works, I already know). Its read only unless I'm an admin.

So you have XP and Ubuntu dualbooting and you want to have the same bookmarks and settings from one to the other?

Here's what I use: http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/

I love my ubuntu. Its fun. I just installed Beryl and was having fun playing with it, but then it stopped working. The 3d cube desktop part. I don't know why.
