-A: There is none; all passwords are locked/scrambled by default; you set one yourself for those situations which call for it. You can set the root password by going to Knoppix Menu -> Knoppix -> Root Shell and typing "passwd", then entering a root password. You can also go to Knoppix Menu -> Knoppix -> Set password for root.  There are several sections you can read dealing with this subject in KNOPPIX/README_Security.txt.
-You can also type "sudo su" or "sudo -s" in any console window, or use <ctr>-<alt>-F2 to get at the text console with already opened root shell.

-====Q: How can I watch a DVD?====

-A: First of all, you have to have Knoppix installed on your hard drive.  You won't be able to execute the following proceedure if you are running it from the CD.

- I beleve if you used a USB to hold the changes you make on a system couldnt you use that to watch a dvd?
- I imagine that would be more useable.

-* Become root

-* Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
-−
- deb <nowiki>http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian</nowiki> $(ARCH)/
- deb-src <nowiki>http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian</nowiki> sources/

-* Then do:
-−
- apt-get update
- apt-get install libdvdcss2
-−
-* Play the DVD (e.g. with Xine, Ogle, Videolan, Mplayer etc).
-* If your DVD plays but skips and jumps, then you probably need to enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) for the drive.
-* To see if DMA is enabled, log in as root and type: "/sbin/hdparm -d <device name>"  For example: "/sbin/hdparm -d /dev/hdc"  It it says "using_dma    =  1 (on)" it is already turned on.
-* Otherwise, to enable DMA type: "/sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc"
-*If you want DMA to be enabled automatically then  add the line "/sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc" to any startup script (/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh for example).
-*Enjoy watching DVDs in Linux :-)

-The links for /etc/apt/sources.list appear to be incorrect.

-A:The init scripts are located in /etc/init.d and are [[symlink]]ed to

 A: Check the small flag in the bottom right corner of the screen, and you have to boot up with lang=es as a kernel parameter for it to work. (check /etc/lilo.conf)

-** '''The answer below seems to be unaccurate for the 5.0.1 version.'''
+** '''The answer below seems to be inaccurate for the 5.0.1 version.'''
 ''(old)A: The general philosophy of KNOPPIX is to allow as little write access as possible. For this reason, existing partitions are either not mounted or only mounted "read only". If you click with your right mouse button on an icon, the "read-only" attribute under item "device" can be un-checked. After this, the partition can be mounted "read-write" (for already mounted partitions, first click on "unmount"!). Alternatively, you can use the mount command to make the drive read/write, see '''man mount''' for details.  '''CAUTION:''' writing to NTFS partitions can lead to data loss, since Linux does not really support this file system! However, DOS and FAT32 file systems are safe for write access. Tip: In the shell the command "mount -o remount,rw /mnt/" can allow already-mounted file systems to be "made writeable".''
