In general there is no root password [1]. I assume you mean that you installed ubuntu on a usb pendrive/memory stick. It should behave, by default, the same way as a normal install. Have you changed anything? Did you install from a third party source? Did you create a root account? Or are you talking about not remembering the first user's login/password? In that case you need to boot into recovery mode (single user mode) and follow these instructions [2].
