Im new to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install apps etc, but it keeps asking for authentication. I don't where or how to create a password. I've had a look in system settings but no joy

When you installed Ubuntu you had to put in a username and password. This would be the password you'll need to use to install your software.

Does this ring any bells?

If you still can't remember, you will need to reset your password. This will be of use in that case: How do I reset a lost administrative password?

When you made your user account you had to put in a password. Use that password when it asks for authentication.
