I was wondering if any one could tell me how to log in as root in Knoppix.

The command passwd does not log you in as root, it only changes the password to a user, which, if you are getting ticked off here about replies not providing you answers to changining passwords, you shouldn't be, the replies you have been getting were based on your initial post question, and, if you wanted to know "How do I change passwords in Knoppix?" - you would have gotten the command "passwd" a lot sooner.

So what is the command to get root access?

Again, you were given replies on how to get to root account access.

The command to get root access is: su
The command to login as root is: you use the login prompt and root password.
The command to change passwords is: passwd (in a konsole window)
