I am aware that Knoppix 5.1.1 Live DVD does not have a "root password" as this is locked by default, and that "What's the root password?" is one of the most common questions you must get on these forums. However, I am trying to load up 5.1.1 into the Gnome desktop, and whenever I try to do anything like getting online, or editing preferences, in Gnome it asks for a password. Pressing "Enter" on its own doesn't do it. I have looked on the internet already and tried one solution suggested - going into the Shell and typing "passwd" to try and specify a password - but all that does is ask for the original password, which of course I don't have!

It seems that at least the Gnome desktop in 5.1.1 requires a password - so I am forced to ask the question: "What is the root password for Knoppix 5.1.1?"
