[Quantian-general] password

[David Rebar]

Dr. Ghezzo,
I had this same issue a few months ago. I will admit that the solution is
very easy and that you almost solved it yourself. You are correct, there is
NO password in Quantian. So, in the Knoppix directory choose "Create root
password" and make it what you want. It should be that easy. So in short:
Since there is initially NO root password, you must first create it. Your
error message should be gone the next time you try. Its difficult for most
of us to imagine truly "open" software.
