Root Password (what is it?)

[Cuddles]

appearantly YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD!!

Just go to the BASH shell (terminal) and just type "su" (w/ out the quotes)

There, u got root access!


This is ONLY FOR THE LIVE CD THOUGH!

In some cases, you do... If you are logged in as the "default" Knoppix user, running off the Live CD, and want to make changes with, say, Control Center - some things require you to enter the "Administrator" password, or the "Super User" password... If a root password is not set, then entering nothing in that querry, reports an error. If you want to change the format of time and date, within Control Center, you need to be able to enter a Super User password... If you wanted, you could get around this, by doing a su in your own konsole, then typing kcontrol, or, you could just type sudo kcontrol - but some people will just want to click on the menu entry Control Center - and using the menu entry, will start the program in your "user" rights / permissions, and not root's.
