If I remember correctly, there isn't a root password on Knoppix.

However, you get get a root terminal by clicking the KDE menu, go to the
KNOPPIX folder and you'll find a root terminal app there.  Also, switching
to the virtual consoles by pressing ctrl+alt and F1 through F5 (?) will
get you root access.

Someone else mentioned booting from a Windows 9x CD.  If you have a
Windows 2000/Xp CD, you can also get a dos type prompt by choosing the
recovery console option.  You could run fdisk and there are other
utilities on the disk (type help to get a list).
