I don't think there is one, when I did a sudo dpkg last time it NEVER asked for any password. And is not su, its sudo baby

when you open terminal in live cdin ubuntu 7.10 it clearly displays 'use sudo to perform administrative tasks'(well something like that 
And yhere is no root passwrod required.

Thanks for the replays...Let me clear it little bit more..Actually i was trying to use net from live DVD(digit dvd) and i followed the procedure in the thread"How to connect to net".When i tried to save the file which we edit i got a error that"u don't have permission"...So, now i tried to enter in to administrator mode by giving the command "su".. Here it asks the password.What's that password?

If you wanna change it then just type: "sudo passwd" and give a new password. But that will only last till the LiveCD session. You can do this to change root password in an installed system too.
