using knoppix to find Mandrake linux password. Not working
I followed the instructions to find the password for root but it didn't work. I tried mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/test. this didn't work. then I tried to type knoppix 1 at the boot prompt and then fdisk and it wouldn't display your disk partitions. I appreciate any help.

finding the password is a task of a few days.
cracking paasswords encrypted with shadow and md5 is no easy task.
changing the password takes less than 5 min, which is it you want?
changing password means to issue a few comamds in a console.
if i remember it all corectly it is something like below.
1/ mount the partition
2/ issue the comands below
2.1/ chroot /mnt/test (hit enter)
then
2.2/ mount -a (hit enter)
now we change the password
2.3/ passwd root (hit enter)
2.4/ give new root password(hit enter)
2.4/ sync&&sync&&exit (hit enter)
3/you are now back in knoppix and can reboot,
you should have a new root password in your system.
