Any ideas how to change it??

If you have sudo access on your user account (should have if you are using Ubuntu), then you can open a command terminal and run 

code:
sudo passwd root


You will have to type your user password once, then it will ask you to type the new root password twice.

I wrote it on the table under the keyboard, didn't you think of that ?

sorted now by booting into command line and fireing some commands in

shockingly easy really
