Switch to one of Knoppix's text consoles to login as root. I think /etc/issue says what the root password is. You could also try a blank password if it doesn't say. Knoppix shuts down as soon as you exit X, so you can't login as a root X user. -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
