Root privileges for mcrypt package install

Kon_Rad

New Pleskian
Hi,
Im new with Parallels Plesk Panel
OS:
CentOS 6.6 (Final)
Plesk version:
12.0.18 Update #38 , last updated at Mar 16, 2015 09:25 AM

I want to test run with some polish cloud vps provider and im stuck because of this
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_encrypt() in..."

Ok. i have open SSH connection with Putty and try to install it
http://kb.odin.com/en/118651

But i have this
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied)

But epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm is onboard.
any yum or sudo install commands do nothing...
[admin@vps-xxx ~]$ yum install php-mcrypt
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
You need to be root to perform this command.
[admin@vps-xxx ~]$

Help me please. How to obtain root privileges? Its possible?
