There is no password by default in Crostini. And you shouldn't need one to install Calibre either from the terminal with...

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Or via the repository with...

sudo apt install calibre

If you want a password you can create one in Crostini with...

sudo passwd

... and follow the prompts (which are, enter in the new password twice)

Be sure you remember it.

EDIT: Correction. You do need a password with the cut and paste install from Calibre's site.
