So root is disabled as a user by default in Ubuntu so you need to add a step to enable it before running the secure database step.

Be aware that the root account is not active by default. You will need to do:
sudo passwd rootThen go ahead to set password. Use the root user using
su root— — — — — — — — — — — — — — -
