My X session *was* unfortunately running as "knoppix" but I could do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or Alt-F1 I forget) and go to the vtty there, type in just "passwd" and then be prompted for a new root password so that in my X session, I could run a terminal window and "su" then type in THAT new password. (Sorry; Was that explained well?) Anyways. The icon for the mounted "freebsdpartition" had a padlock icony, hence, it seemed that only root had GUI (graphical user interface) access to the mounted drive!
