Can I still use this method on 14.04 if my account did not have root permission? Reason: this is my server that was set up by a programmer that is no longer with me. His user name and password had root permission, but mine didn't. I want to remove his login and establish mine as root.

Hi, please help me. Rebooted holding Shift but GRUB menu doesn't start ( show up ), goes directly to log-in page. Please give me a solution.
