1. On Linux systems the so called "Super User" is root.
2. simply type exit and press the enter key and you're back as a normal user.
Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!

Alternatively, you can exit an escalated (su) session by pressing the CTRL+D keyboard combination.

When we use su command then we write admin user name
su is both the command for change to super user by itself or any other user by name.
In term just su enter key will prompt for super users password. (root's) Then you can get into trouble.
