persistent home password

Hey,
When I attempt to create a knoppix persistent home that is 2GB, knoppix formates and creates the image, but then, when I try to boot to it, knoppix says it can't find the image and is attempting to use /mnt/hda1/knoppix.img .... which is fine but it wants a password for it?
----
any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Knoppix didn't finish in the cretion of the file.

Try making it again only wait, knoppix should notify you when its done.
