i just started dsl a couple of days ago and some of the stuff i need to do requires me to be logged in as root... i know how to that, su -m, but i've no idea what the password is? Any help would be much appreciated.

what stuff are you doing? If it's stuff from the command line, just type sudo su or sudo -u root PROGRAM

sudo su makes you root until you close the terminal window. sudo -u root PROGRAM is just for that program
