Hi, Im new to linux and need help with a few things:

1) whenever i want to enter administrator mode to modify my settings and things it asks for a password, i have not set a password so i do not know what to do!

2) i have a Speedtouch 330 ADSL modem, and knoppix does not find it, or i am doing something wrong. how can i set up an internet connection without the modem? I also have a lucent winmodem but i dont use that

Thank you!
