Kubuntu root password

[mikek]

OK, new to this. What is the root password to the just installed Kubuntu distribution? Thanks, mikek

There is no rootpasswd.

If want to login as root:

$sudo
$ userpasswd


If you want u can make a rootpasswd:
$sudo passwd root
$userpasswd
$rootpasswd you choose

I'd recommend giving https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo a read for some of the background (and other info besides) relating to sudo/su etc.
