When you installed Ubuntu you were asked to create a user. That user is given root via sudo. So, you can do: sudo synaptic At the command prompt. And you will then be asked for *your* password. You can also set a password for root from the command prompt. -- peace, Alvin Smith http://www.alvinsmith.com
