I just installed Ubuntu and one of the 1st things that I did was - remove my password. I went into settings -> user accounts, clicked on the unlock
icon and changed the password to nothing, made it so it doesn't require me to log in, but yet, when I try to install some software I get prompted to type in my password. I tried using nothing and my old password - neither of them work.
What should I do to fix this? Do I really have to re-install Ubuntu?
