su won't work from a debian live USB install



I installed the Debian 9 from a Debian live amd64 image I downloaded today.  Everything works great, but I can't su to apt-get anything new.

theo@debian:~$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure

I have reinstalled twice, being super careful to get the password right, etc.  But it simply doesn't seem to work on this version.  Anyone else seeing this problem?

Thanks,
Daniel
