Forgot Root password

Asked by Arindam

I want to edit 05_debian_theme file. But unable to do so as only root has the edit permission to this. I do not remember providing root password while installing Ubuntu 9.10. (Actually I had 9.04. But there were some issue after upgrading to 9.10, so had to reinstall). How can I reset my root password?
Thanks in advance!!

Try:
$ sudo passwd
type your user's password when asked and then type the new password for the root user when asked for.
