I am asked for a password when I want to reset the date and time or any other basic system administration. I have never used a password since Ubuntu was installed. How do I overcome this?
Asked by

Since having Ubuntu installed, I have never set a password. This may have been done by the installer but I have no knowledge of it. When I try to do any simple administrative operation such as reset the time and date, I am blocked. I am also unable to download Adobe Flash Player which prevents me from viewing video. These problems may not be directly related but are very frustrating.
