| − | ==== Q: What is the root password? ====
| |
| | | | |
| − | A:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Live CD:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | From the [[Using FAQ]] : there is none; in Knoppix LiveCD all passwords are locked by default.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can set root password by going Knoppix Menu->Root Shell and typing "'''passwd'''", then enterting a root password, also 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Apparently, however, in some versions of Knoppix, if you type 'sudo -s', it will ask for a password. If you simply press return without entering anything, it will tell you 'Authentication Failed."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Hard disk installation:
| |
| − | Open a console window (monitor icon on taskbar) and use the command su then enter the root password.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you added a user but are unable to 'su' or 'sudo' once logged in as a user, you may not have set a 'root' password during the install process. Reboot with the KNOPPIX disc, mount the harddrive partition that contains your freshly installed KNOPPIX files:
| |
| − | *For me it was
| |
| − | **'''mount /dev/hda1
| |
| − | *Change root to harddisk:
| |
| − | **'''chroot /mnt/hda1
| |
| − | *Then edit the sudoers file (not 'vi /etc/sudoers' because that's the OS in RAM)
| |
| − | **'''visudo
| |
| − | *For an easier editor use:
| |
| − | **'''EDITOR=mcedit visudo
| |
| − | *Then change the line:
| |
| − | KNOPPIX ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
| |
| − | *to the username you have set up already, example:
| |
| − | bob ALL=NOPASSWD: All
| |
| − | *Reboot from your harddrive and then create the 'root' password:
| |
| − | **'''sudo passwd
| |
| − | *done
