root login is disabled in Ubuntu and you can gain root privileges using sudo.
Check this sticky on sudo.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

The terminal command "sudo su -" will give you a root shell. It may ask for your password (yours, not root's).
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Anybody who cares to read sudo man page will find lots of interesting stuff.
I'm using sudo -i myself.
