hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to access the root account but I
cant do so using my password. I didn't specify any password during the
system installation process except the one I use to access my account.
any ideas about how to do so
There is no root account by default,
Correction: There is one, but it doesn't have a password, so you can't
log in the usual way.
Kind regards

I think it's a safety thing, kind
of. Instead you are supposed to use sudo with your user password for
each action (you don't have to enter your password every time though).
There are tons of information about this out there, here's the first
that I found a minute ago:
http://www.debuntu.org/2006/04/24/34-ubuntu-default-root-password-or-the-sudo-way
It's old, but not much happened since then in this case.
Kind regards

thanks in advance

You're welcome. Happy new year, by the way!
