I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
When I try su command, it asks password..
But when I type password, It says authentication failure..
Why does that happen??
I enter correct password every time.

Read my answer above. Short answer, write
sudo su
in the terminal, and enter your user password, then you can reset the root password using thepasswd
command.
