  1. The installation didn't ask me to set root password, but many occasions asked me for it. So what's the default root password?

  2. I wish to connect to network via PPPoE. How do I set it up?

    There is no default root password: http://askubuntu.com/questions/189907/what-is-the-default-root-password For PPP over Wifi, have a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/486655/how-can-i-set-up-a-broadband-connection/486706#486706 PPPoE is easily set up using Network Manager (by setting up a DSL connection). Please do not ask multiple unrelated questions in the same post. Split up your question into as many independent questions as you need. – muru Jul 22 '14 at 22:10

  1. There is no default root password in Ubuntu. The root account is locked by design and administrative tasks are done by sudo command.

  2. See the Network Manager - click the Network Manager icon in the upper-right corner and select "Edit Connections".

If you want set a root password :

sudo passwd root

enter your sudo user password, and after chose your root password.

If you want login in root :

su
