Hello,
there are at least accounts on a typical GNU/Linux system. An administrative account, called "root", and an ordinary user account, with which the daily work is done.
Normally, you are asked to define root's password during install time.Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.

have you tried to access them as root?
as GNU-FAN said root is the user having all powers. try as root.Sorry, it was unintentional.
You should have told me at least once and i could have fix it.
thanks for reminding me.
