Ubuntu does not use a root password.
While that is somewhat true, I'll explain a little further. Ubuntu
makes extensive use of the sudo command to provide root
privileges. However, if you have scripts that need to be run as
root and/or you just don't want to have to type sudo before a
series of commands, then you can become root by doing "sudo su"
then setting the root password.
sudo -s
and then your normal password works just as well.
