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,

How do I reset a lost administrative password?
