what is the root password, I did not change it so it should be the default.

  Hello, execute (in a terminal) su (and provide password for root), and then visudo to edit the file /etc/sudoers. It is important that you use visudo, and not editing it directly (for reasons I don't know). I myself added the line 
  joe     ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL
  to the bottom (if joe is my username). Then I never have to type my password. If you jus ttype
  joe ALL = ALL
  then you have to type your password sometimes.

    How do I add my account to the sudo access list?
    This is a new server with a new install and I am trying to get things setup for the first time.
