--Try ' man passwd ' for more help. Basically, on the CD the root user has no password - and neither does the knoppix user. If you want to allow remote logins to the CD environment, you have to set a password for the existing user(s) or add another one. Same if you install to HD.
--In CD mode, Ctrl-Alt-F1 thru F4 are Root shells. (Alt-F5 gets you back to KDE / Xfree86.) From the GUI Konsole shell, you can ' sudo bash ' and it will start a root shell. (Ctrl-D to exit the shell.)
--To set / reset a password for root: (first you must be at a root prompt - see above)
' passwd root ' == If you have to log-in as root, you must now know the password.
For knoppix userid:
' passwd knoppix '
