I thought the root user exists in ubuntu, it just doesn't have a
password by default. You don't need a password if you set up ssh keys.
You may have to 'sudo su -' and enter your own password to get root
shell access to set up the key, but that's standard procedure on systems
that play nanny with sudo.
