Shadowzero, i ran a brute force attack against admin account and i hacked it. So i can read, write, del files but i cant logon using that account to other services as i mentioned the server is Linux
And that may be the best you'll be able to do in this situation. It's not always possible to compromise a system or escalate privileges.
A couple points to keep in mind:
If a service has a vulnerability that can only be exploited from an authenticated session, obtaining credentials may help you exploit the service. Otherwise, you'll just have standard access to the service.
Obtaining access to information is often sufficient. If a service you compromise contains sensitive information, that in itself is enough to sound the alarms. You don't need to root the box on top of that.
You may be able to leverage that access in other attacks. For example, you may be able to upload a file that could be accessed by a web server. Don't assume each service on a system exists in isolation.

It may not always be possible but I say there really high chance as if there no script or anything else running on the machine that you can use to gain high privs. There good chance there might be exploit for the version of OS. It does really depend on a lot of factors.

Linux is not a service. It's an OS.
I have ubuntu, backtrack, fedora, and kubuntu and i can work with all of the so i think i know what is linux!
and the difference is so much but not in this case coz i know 100% that the server is ubuntu coz as i mentioned im helping 1 of my friends and he told me before the pentest but im sure i cant find any useable exploit

Sounds like your living in a prison !! A prison which you can see Ubuntu, touch Ubuntu, taste Ubuntu, or smell Ubuntu. A prison for your Ubuntu mind. The differences between something which you see and the truth is so much in this Ubuntu prison.

LoL COZ our habits! And seriously this world (not windows! Real world!) is sick and is a prison too. So save ur mind and make it free good luck
