Sorry for being such a tard: I figured this whole mess out but digging just a little deeper. So sorry.


antweb: I tried your solution. I booted the 5.0.1 DVD and locked the screen without setting a root password or a password for the user 'knoppix'. Your 'fix' mandates that one already knows the password.

My bigger question, I guess, is there has GOT to already be a defaul root password...right?

As un: knoppix, I can lock my screen and Knoppix requires a password for me to unlock it.
