You can run programs as a root with sudo, or if you want to use root account "as usual", you can set its password with
sudo passwd root
enter this in terminal or console (command prompt), type new root passwd twice and you're ready to root. :) Remember not to use root account for anything other than neccessary administration tasks (editing system wide config files, installing software). Don't log into X using root, don't use it as your regular user account.

There is no root password in Ubuntu, the root account is disabled. If you want to do admin stuff you should use sudo.

example:
$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

when it askes for password enter your user password.
