David,

I'm assumming that you're booting from the cd, in the start menu under KNOPPIX, you should see root shell, use a text editor(such as vi) to make changes. If you try using vi, I suggest looking at the man pages if you haven't used it before.

Hope that help's

There is no password (yet). Look at this topic: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=364#1313 or use Search. :)

Open a console sudo passwd to set a root password.
