Account Password/ authentication password
 
Just downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 lts this week. The password in my user account details appears to have 5 digits (5 dots) but I have no recollection of setting a password. Is there a default which will let me set one so that I can also use it for authentication?
Thanks.
