knoppix 3.9 admin password

[redserpet]

hello:
Am new to Linux. I can't use the internet with my laptop[thinkpad 600 & Linksys card] nor my desktop also IBM.
I can't get the system to detect the wireless card inthe laptop nor the motorola card in the desktop.

To configure them i need the Administrators password, i've looked in a lot of files of the documentation in the cd, no luck.

Can anyone help? i need the Adminisreator's password fpr Knoppix 3.9 to start or Knoppix 4.2?

thanks, redserpent

Goto the shell:

Type "Sudo su" (without quotes - then click enter)
Type "passwd root" it will then ask for a new password.

Had this problem too :) .
