cd /var/mail/
sudo vi administrator
save and quiet using "wq"
sudo chown -v administrator administrator->To change ownership because initially it is "root"
 -------------------------------------------------------
Above commands working perfectly..
---------------------------------------------------
I dont know whether some other ways are there (or) not..
let me know,if any other ways are there??? 



Surely the name of the administration user is "root" ?

yes..y??/
