not able to install drivers it is asking for admin password...?

It's asking for YOUR password. If you don't know what it is, ask the person who installed Ubuntu for you.

I think we can be a little more polite here.

Sir, most of the drivers you need are already installed on your
computer, compiling drivers from source and then installing those
requires the sudo password, which is the one you used to login. I
don't quite understand what you are trying to ask, Ryan Dwyer did put
a valid comment, so you may consider elaborating your question.

I had this issue on 2 installs of Maverick.
Newbie but it seems the root pw is not set and blank pws are not allowed.
So doing sudo passwd at the terminal seems to do the trick. You can use the same pw.
A bug if not a bugbear to fool newbies?
