    my dvd-rw was not working. but i had to install linux. so i installed ubuntu from the iso using demons tool. But when i am opening the terminal to create an user,it's prompting that only root have the permission to create an user.

    i am trying to use "su" command but it's showing that authentication failed.

    How can i become the root?

      They disabled root on your machine because they knew you'd misuse it.

    Ig the OP understood why it is disabled, he wouldn't need to ask the question.
