Zorin is Ubuntu based. There is NO root password (unless you purposely create one). The primary account is automatically added to the admin and sudo groups and the password for that account is the one he should be using. However, he also needs to be logged into that account when attempting to do admin commands. If he is using an account that is not part of the admin and sudo groups it won't work.
