root password

[jjluna]

Hi.

I installed Ubuntu yesterday midnight....and maybe I was sleeping but I don't remember set any password for the root user...I mean I don´t remember any screen asking me that password......could you help me telling me is there is a default password?.....or how to change it?

I already have a user and its password....so i can access to the system but not as root.

Thanks for your help

Best regards

In ubuntu the root account is disabled.
All administrative tasks are done using sudo and your current users password.

To get a root shell you can use 'sudo -i'
To execute a single command as root 'sudo <command'
