    Your friend has given you the PC with Kubuntu pre-loaded? If so he needs to give you his password too as he will be the administrator.

    Failing that you could look here:

        By "administrator mode" do you mean you are trying to login as root or to use the "administrator mode" in kde?

        Assuming you are trying to login as root, bear in mind that with Ubuntu there is no root user as such- you use sudo and not su.

        eg sudo apt-get update <hit return> will receive a prompt for your password.

        That it?
