I want to change my root password but I am not able to access the recovery menu. I followed the steps given here. I choose the advanced option from the grub menu and then the recovery mode, but after that ubuntu loads the GUI mode with a guest session. How do I access the recovery menu so I can change my root password ?

You do not need the recovery menu to change the root password.
By default, no root password is set in Ubuntu, and you use sudo only to get root permissions. It you really want to set a root password, see

and for background, see here:

I wrote the question wrong. I just wanted access to sudo command to remove guest login in ubuntu but i had forgotten my password. – Narayan Waraich Aug 10 '14 at 05:57
