Root login is disabled by default in Ubuntu. When you do stuff that require root privileges in Ubuntu, you use the 'sudo' command. By using sudo command, the user is given root privileges for that session. Root in Linux is like the administrator account in windows(kind of). To change password, use this command
sudo passwd "username" [without the quotes] And then you will be asked to type the new password. Hope it helps :) Manuel Jose www.techdrivein.com -- "Freedom is the only law".
