I have gotten a laptop with Ubuntu installed on it. I have got an account with a password that I indeed do remember, but when I try to install some things, I cannot install it without entering the root password ( and sometimes sudo or something). The weird thing is that I am able to install a few things like OpenArena and Musescore, but I can't install other games/software like PlayOnLinux. I don't even know what root password means but I've tried entering my user password and it didn't work. The word "root" or "sudo" also doesn't work. I have no clue what this password could be. I got the laptop from someone who I can't contact at the moment. Is there any way of resetting the password or making it visible for me so I can actually do anything on this currently useless laptop? Thanks!
