I've been getting the above message every time I want to install any software from a "unknown source." I don't know what my admin password is. How do I set up a password or what is my password supposed to be. I am using a chromebook.

2Is this Ubuntu installed on a ChromeBook or Chrome OS you are having issues with? – Thomas Ward Jan 02 '16 at 23:34

It's pretty simple: you can ONLY install new software if you are the admin. Or you know the password, or you don't install it. Security, you know?
