[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 112190, member: 5184"] That's the correct way to enable the root account in OS X... But don't forget, the root user has ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRICTION, means there is no protection whatsoever against errors. If, as root, you throw away a system related item, it will destroy your OS, and you're welcome for a new install session... So you better know EXACTLY what you're doing. That's why Apple by default disables the root account, it's nothing to play around with... [/QUOTE]
