Depends on how you look at it.  For some it's easier.  I just use Sudo 
on my desktop and notebook as I generally don't need to run anything as 
root unless I'm either installing something or making configuration 
changes, in fact I'd say I find it easier.

Anyway, you should find that the admin password is the same as your 
normal user login password.
