I want to run a root shell command to add Empathy to auto start up as per this guide:

But do not know how to access root shell?

Open a terminal: Applications>Accessories>Terminal and type sudo -s then enter your password (you won't see it being typed for security reasons) and press enter. You will then be in a root shell.
