  1. The installation didn't ask me to set root password, but many occasions asked me for it. So what's the default root password?

  2. I wish to connect to network via PPPoE. How do I set it up?

  1. There is no default root password in Ubuntu. The root account is locked by design and administrative tasks are done by sudo command.

  2. See the Network Manager - click the Network Manager icon in the upper-right corner and select "Edit Connections".

If you want set a root password :

sudo passwd root

enter your sudo user password, and after chose your root password.

If you want login in root :
