Normally, Ubuntu does not have a login for the user 'root'.
Instead you use sudo command line to run the command command line, and you use your own user ID's password to escalate the permissions and run with root permissions via sudo.
Example (to modify the file /etc/fstab),
sudo nano /etc/fstab
So if you have the password for the previous administrator's user ID, fine. Otherwise you may need to reset that password,

Yes, @marko, but it will defeat the purpose ofsudo, to avoid running commands as root by mistake and create problems. Anyway, in some special cases it is an advantage to run with a root shell viasudo -sorsudo -i. And we should remember to usesudo -H gui-programto run GUI application programs to avoid problems for the regular user ID with configuration files.
