Hi all, another newbie realises that Windoze is rubbish!

I have managed to change my root password (Hooray!) and I am trying to set myself up as a Super User so I can access the files mydaughter encrypted before I rebuilt my machine and then she couldn't access them because etc. etc. etc.

Without Super User status I am unable to get access because they are still protected in some way.

However, having changed my Root password to something I know, I can now get to the Super user - not!

When I enter the new Root password in the Super user screen I get a message saying I need to check that DSOPserver is running.

I have been to the root console and typed 'sudo dsopserver', but then it tells me 'dsopserver appears to be running, remove home/knoppix/.dsopserver_knoppix__0 and run dsopserver again' (or something like that)

What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,

fatcharlie.
