When you install the password root is same of the installation user

By default root account is not enabled in ubuntu.You can use sudo command for daily adminstration works.If you need root account enable it by typing the following in the terminal:
sudo passwd root
if you want to disable root type the follwing in the terminal:
sudo passwd -l root
consult this documentation before doing anything
