Unable to Install asus usb-n13 wireless adapter

[boricuakenpo]

I'm trying to install the asus usb-n13 wireless adapter on Ubuntu 10.10

I followed the instructions I found at the following link
linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/64958-how-install-software-linux.html

But when I get the the part of switching to Root (su) it is not accepting my password

Can anybody help my getting the asus usb-n13 wireless adapter installed on Ubuntu 10.10

I also need help resetting root password

Any help would be appreciated

Thank You

Ubuntu disables su by default. You need to use sudo when appropriate, for example

./configure
make
sudo make install

Sudo will use your user password.
