This is a VERY common question, and if you did a quick search through
the wiki or FAQ you'd find the answer..
Ubuntu uses "sudo" instead of root.
the password is the password you entered for your user.
There IS a way to activate the root password but try doing the sudo
way for a while.. you'll get used to it quickly.
