Yeah wrong forum.
Anyway, the default user is 'knoppix' and this user does not have permissions to run administrative tools such fdisk on the drive. To enable the default user to run admin tools, put a 'sudo' in front of the command:
sudo fdisk /dev/hda
or
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
If you so desire, you can run cfdisk (a more friendly fdisk) instead of regular fdisk.

Are you running Knoppix 4.0 from the DVD-R itself? Is it installed to a hard drive?
Info on managing and changing root password is http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11500
