Roger Ubuntu has the root account disabled and the distro uses rootsudo. So every time root access is needed for an elevated privilege, you have to run the command pre-fixed with sudo. The password that you enter is your own password. If you still require the root account to be enabled, then you can easily do this but they advise against this.

Nowhere in the install did it ask me to supply a root password. Is there a fixed pw pre installed and if so what is it?
