[Ubuntu-US-CA] Is this a good place to ask a Ubuntu "Command line" question... ?

[Skyzone9]

I am new to Ubuntu and trying to learn Linux, and I have a question about
the "SU" command....
I am not sure who to send it to.

I just need to know how to sign-in as Superuser.
I just downloaded Ubuntu 10.04.3  and when I type the "su" command it just
says " su: Authentication failure"
I am using my normal sign-on password....,   is there some other default
sudo password... ?


Can anyone send a help here..... ?

Thanks
Dave
