[QUOTE="sc8ing, post: 1129467, member: 175659"] Ok, so I did as the [URL="http://snowleopardtips.net/tips/enable-root-account-in-snow-leopard.html"]link[/URL] you showed me said and enabled the root user - no problems there. But when I went in to Terminal and ran "su root" it [I]still[/I]says that the password is wrong. It wasn't mistyped, I made sure of that, and I reset the root password many times, checking for errors. The commands had the same outcomes as before, (errors). Maybe I deleted a system file or corrupted something important? It seems that I'm the only one to ever have a problem like this.... Can you think of any other reasons it possibly couldn't be working? Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
