Root password generated randomy in ubuntu.

When i installed ubuntu in my machine, ubuntu did not ask for any root password from me. It asked for a user name & password, which i gave during installation, and everything is finised.

When i ran synaptic package manager, the problem started as it asked for root password which i dont know. After some wierd search & breaking of my head, i finally found that my own user has all admin facilities and then changed the password for the root.

Later i came to know from an article that ubuntu generates its password randomly. Whether its a flaw or is it intended to be like that… i dont know..
