Hey John, if you are refering to the EMC2 Ubuntu 8.04 CD and its installation, then the password "should" be what you entered when you installed Ubuntu.
Have you finished the installation and has the computer rebooted or are you really "in the process of installing it" ? If you have really finished installing then you can press ESC when you see the message of the Grub bootloader when the machine starts up. I think the time window for doing so is 3 sec. Then choose the second entry in grub, which is able to drop you to a root shell in single user mode. Then type: passwd YOURUBUNTUUSER enter the new password (i think you have to enter it again a second time again just to be sure). Of course substitute YOURUBUNTUUSER for the user name that you have choosen during the installation Then it CTRL-ALT-DEL or type reboot and hit enter and the computer should reboot.
