OR you could NOT be a pussy and get a real root prompt:

su - root
<root password>

Oh poor baby, you dont' have root login?

sudo passwd
<new root password twice>

Now. For a manly root command


usermod -a -G <group> <username>

For example:

usermod -a -G <vboxusers> <jakehalsted>

Log out

Log back in

Restart Virtual Box
