Hello

I am new to Linux and must confess I don't know an awful lot about it-but I am trying to learn.

I installed Knoppix on my HD (dual boot - XP). I managed to install it without to much difficulty but when it comes to the login page I am prompted for a login name and password for Knoppix user and Root user. When I type in the names I set up for Root, it keeps on telling me the name and/or password is wrong. I can only log in as a knoppix user which doesn't allow me to do very much.

I am not very familiar with linux tools so need a step by step guide on how to alter this (if I can).

Help please

Thank you in advance.
