That will work. Another way to do it is to provide a password for root.
Something like:

sudo -i # become root

passwd # set the new password.

Some thoughts:

* There's more than one way to do it. This is an unofficial motto of
  Perl, but it applies to much of computing.

* Because of the thought above, often you can't just blindly copy
  command line sequences from a book or web page. You must examine them,
  understand what they do, and adapt them to your situation.

* Life is a learning experience.
