Trisquel does not have the root user account available (it is locked) as it inherits this feature from Ubuntu. The first user created has administrator privileges which it is invoked by placing the command sudo in front of the task that requires elevated privileges.
It will ask you for a password, and that password is your password as a normal user.
sudo -i will give you a session as if you were root (you see the classic # for root). The password asked is your normal user login credentials.

Do you mind to post the output of the following command which will display the groups you are part of?
Code:
id guest-mKNnW5
