I am trying to get my kpackage program to accept my password.

I am running 3.3 installed on my hard drive. During installation, I was asked to give it a password which I did for both root and user. Now my "user" is Knoppix which is wrong, but whatever. I have tried everything to get root to work for kpackage.

Also I am not able to type my password in the password prompt in kpackage as it will not let me type, litterally.


I am brand new to Linux and need a hand.

Thanks
