What is root's password in knoppix?
I tried a "blank" by just pressing return, but know luck. I've tried knoppix and linux, a no go.
How can one "su" in a console in X on knoppix? I am aware that CTRL ALT F2-F4 or root console's, however I want to be able to su in an xterm. Cool |
According to the Knoppix FAQ, there is none. But there are ways that are left as an excersize for the student. :D
Hint: Search forum for the term "knoppix" as someone was discussing that a day or two ago. |
I have never used knoppix but have you tried dropping to single user mode and running "passwd root" to set a new one?

Hi all,
all you have to do is to launch the console and type in it : sudo su That's it, you're root. |
ctrl+alt+f4 will take you to text mode, then just type "passwd", type in the new root password.
Then just ctrl+alt+f5 to graphic mode |
Thank you everyone for your responses. Next time I have knoppix up for a demo, I'll be sure to give them a try. :)
Cool |
Holy smokes, MC asked a question!
