    Root password

    I have a new copy of the Knoppix CD. What is the default password for root?
    I want to setup other users and can not because I do not have root priv.
    And how do I cahnge the password for the users root, local users, knoppix users?

    There is none. You have to set it. Try sudo passwd, then follow. Something like that to set it. It will ask you to enter a new password and then verify.

    Are you running from CD? If so, you will have to set up a 'persistent home' & save your config on your hard drive or on a floppy if you are going to set up other users since you cannot change the setup on the read only CD.
    Easiest way to set up users is KUser. It's on the start menu under system.
    You will also have to change the login so that user knoppix does not automatically log in.
