You need the password used when you set up your Mac for the first time.
 
As above usually the same as the one you log in with, do you have a password set to log in ?
 
it will not accept the one i use to login with !!
 
If you've lost the Root password, you'll either have to reinstall and set a new one, or hack it.
Mojave doesn't make it easy, but it can be done.

ETA: I've just seen in your other post you're trying to update from 10.12.6, so the High Sierra Root bug won't help. :(
Try this, or this.
