[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 689670, member: 24098"] I don't believe you can actually log in as root (basically the highest level administrator account on a UNIX-like OS). But you don't need to because you can elevate your permissions anytime it's needed by using the sudo command (obviously when you're in the GUI and you need uber-admin rights, OS X will automatically prompt you for your admin password). It takes a bit to get used to, particularly if you've never used anything but Windows (in Linux, this is a very familiar concept). [/QUOTE]
