Although Ubuntu doesn't need the root-user by default, you can still log in as root and set the root password. To set a new password for the root user (which you can use to install ROX-Session for all users), use the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo -s # opens a root-session, enter your own password
passwd # changes the root password, enter it twice
exit # closes the root-session
If ROX-Session now asks for a password, you know which one to use :-)
