In ubuntu by default the su (root) password is not not set. I have set it by using the sudo passwd (see link). But I didn't like it. Can I go back to my original state.

The root account in Ubuntu is defaultly disabled. When you enabled the root account (set a password for it) then you can disble it easy by the following command:

sudo passwd -dl root
  • -d means to delete the password (make it empty)
  • -l means lock the password of the account
