there's no password.

You can become root with the command "sudo su".
You can use root power for a single program with "sudo <program>".
You can create a password with the "passwd" command.
You can be prompted to create a password when you boot by using the "secure" boot option.
You can keep your current password persistent by backing up /etc/shadow.

that would be the first command at the prompt in a terminal. You will see the prompt change to indicate that you are root.
