    Hi,
    i installed Bluetooth Adapter but now i have to change some lines in rfcomm.conf file, but when i try to save the changes it comes: "can´open file to write". I presume that i have to be root to make changes but i dont know how to open this/or anybody text file from terminal as root. Can someone, please help me?

    use sudo command before opening file to edit - command will give you ROOT/Admin rights in the system.

    f.e.>> sudo "program_name" rfcomm.conf where "program_name" you have to change with the name of software you use to edit files...
