    How do I Re-Partition the HD?

    I am new to Linux. Let me give you a brief history.

    Needing to repartition an 80gb HD down to 40 (w/o reformating the HD or re-installing windows)
    Didn't want to spend $40-60 for a commercial program.
    Did some search found that the bootable Knoppix CD (5.1) has this feature.
    Booted from CD (after backing up and taking a Ghost image of PC) w/o any issues.
    Went to systems and found the partition option, but can't get pass the Administrator PW
    Did another search in FAQ and saw that 1. No pw is set and 2. This option is locked.

    How/Where do I go to get the PW and is there any other info I need to know so that I can re-partition the HD?

    sorry i missed helping you (had no internet yesterday), qtparted would work for partitioning and resizing.

    As for password, if you look at the top of the General Support forum, you find process and explanation on changing root password (root=superuser=admin=GOD in Unix world) and other related issues.
