root password in dapper

[niks]

Hi its my understanding that dapper does not require a root password just the one to access the machine on startup so how do i get to root to instal new programs such as firefox or skype, on installing my dapper i only entered one password but when i type it in when called uponon to get in to root it says its incorrect any help would be apprecited as im tearing my hair out and its falling out with age without my additional help hahaha

Re: root password in dapper

From Kubuntu Faq (http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php#root)

What is the default root password?

There is no root password set as default. If KDE needs administrator privileges you should use your user password instead. You can also edit files as root from Konqueror with right click -> Actions -> Edit as Root.
