dear members,
I have the administrator account in kde neon, only I have no administrator rights in the terminal.
How can I restore these rights in the terminal?
Via a command or something in the settings.
Greetings,
Jeffrey

Neon, as it is based on Ubuntu, does not use a 'root' account, but uses sudo to elevate privileges temporarily on the terminal.
Normally, sudo is used before a command, and you won't have to use it again for a while (15 mins?)

You can use sudo -i to have a persistent sudo session, if you wish.

as stated you can 'sudo' any command
you can also 'sudo su' which will give you root access but be carefull
