I have a clean OSX 10.6.7 install. My admin account has no password.
So I'd assume that to access the root via terminal, the password would also be blank? But it's not working...
I've also tried changing my admin password, enabling root user in Directory Services and changing the password there...
But nothing seems to work. I can access any part of my HDD via finder, but not via terminal.
So is there some sort of default password that I don't know about? Or is there any way around this? I need to use the 'sudo' command for various programming tasks, but am always prompted for a password that shouldn't exist.
