First time I ever saw that # is root. A bit cryptic, but you can come out of your room. :-)

Can not get to root ?

andy@new-host:/$ cd root
bash: cd: root: Permission denied

because root owns it. you users are locked out, just like a different user cannot get into someone elses home.

root can do anything though

go su or try sudo, better yet do this
Code:

su -  <-- don't forget the hyphen
password
then
pwd
