VM and Redhat Problems

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a some problems with redhat in my Oracle VM and the Redhat(rhel-server-5.5-x86_64-dvd.iso). I've installed both tools yesterday without any issues, but...
Through the redhat installation, i entered user and pass correctly, everythings was marching ok. The problems began to show up when i was trying to install Guest Addition, so i found that i can't even change any file permission wtih chmod, i tried to execute the guest_addition within the comand sudo but failed too, failed trying change my user's permission too, everything was denied.
So, my questions it's if i was the person who install the redhat and declare the user and pass, why i 'm not able to do anything like administrator?
It means i just have rights to read, but nothing else.
I need to become in administrator to get all permissions.
Any Idea to help please, i really need to fix this issue, it's driving me crazzy.
