Okay, we are jumping all over the place. Lets stick to one problem at a time. Were you able to login as root when you used the su command?

In my ubuntu live cd ,its not allowing me to login as root and since i dnt have the root psword su command is not allowing to login as root.plz help me

You really need to have that root password, otherwise you won't be able to do much as you can already see. Are you the one that set the root password?

Attempting to hack the root password on a Linux box is not easy task. I would recommend just reinstalling, but you said your using the live cd which I have never used. I would say just install a full version of Ubuntu on your box. The Ubuntu install is the one of the easiest Linux distro's to install.

If your contemplating whether to try and hack the root password or not, here is a tutorial which apparently many have used in the past.
