Is there a way to run the cd command with superuser privileges to gain access to directories that are owned by root? When I run sudo cd <path>, I get sudo: cd: command not found.

cdis a shell built-in, not an executable.sudoonly works on executables. You can runsudo /bin/cd <path>but I don't think you'll get the results you're expecting.sudo cd …would start a root subshell, change that subshell's current directory, and then exit, returning to the non-root shell with the original current directory.
