what makes you think it isn't installed. the documentation I read says that OpenSSH is installed on all Ubuntu releases.
Not familiar with Ubuntu. FWIW many distros split the ssh server and ssh client packages - so make sure you actually have the ssh SERVER up and running.

... now I got it working except I dont know my password. my root password does not work.
Ubuntu doesn't have a root password (unless maybe you set one yourself). The password you use is whatever you use to login to Ubuntu - if it's set to autologin then it's the password you use when you "sudo somethingoranother" (both refer to the same password). Also make sure you're specifying your username correctly:
Code:
ssh myusername@ip.address.of.ubuntu
where myusername is your username on Ubuntu of course.
