[Quantian-general] Change root password

[David Rebar]

Thank You for getting back to me!
It is even easier than that. There is a special item in the KNOPPIX
directory "Change root password".
I overlooked this option because I was thinking that you would need the
original root password to change the password, but there is no password.

I must get out of the capitalist mindset and start thinking "OPEN SOURCE".

Thanks again.
