In a terminal, type "passwd" and change your password to something new and write it down. This is the password for your user account.
Also type "passwd root" and give the root account a different password and write that one down.
When you use `sudo` and are prompted for a password, use your user account password. If that doesn't work, you'll need to log in as root, or, `su`, and add your username to a group that has permission to use `sudo`. Consult the manual for sudo, `man sudo`.
