root has a random password choosen at the time of installation of Ubuntu. And don’t ask how to know the root password.,. its different for different installations. You need to change the root password from your account by getting to System > Administration > Users and Groups and then login to the root.

With great difficulty I managed to move from Gutsy to Hardy. However I am having some issues. The /etc/hosts file is showing the lkocal host as 127.0.0.1 - is this correct ?

how do I log into root ?

Thanks

I was going to suggest the same thing as admin, your best bet is to switch mirrors, although that hasn’t helped me much. I thought it was just Ubuntu’s server’s being overloaded by the Hardy release, but we’re far enough past that now, I don’t know what the deal is.
