I have 2 laptops running ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to install the software for my new lexmark printer when the software runs it says 'this operation requires root( administrative) privileges. please enter the administrative password' When I enter my login password it says 'incorrect password given, please retype. The software was downloaded from the lexmark website and is on my hard drive. The cd which came with the printer has the software for 9.10 but the 10.04 is on the website.
