Ubuntu has chosen to use sudo instead of an open root account. Seems a poor choice, IMHO, but to apt-get, use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install whatever...
sudo is how you should run all root commands. You must be the user you first added during the installation. Use your own password when asked.
