I'm doing a report in school right now comparing Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP. Naturally I'm falling down on the side of Linux a tad ;)

Could anyone supply me with a screenshot of an Ubuntu root password request security dialogue as i can't find one online. thanks.

By default there is no root password in ubuntu. It uses a sudo to get superuser abilities for the first user's password.

See:-
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
for all the info you need.
