[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 344059, member: 9169"] The root account, by default, is disabled (as rman points out). To enable it, you have to go into Applications -> Utilities -> NetInfo Manager and choose "Security --> Authenticate" and then "Enable Root User." (The UNIX geek who's lived inside of me since 1986 is screaming "NO! NO!! NO!!" in my ears as I type this.) Use these instructions at your own risk. (There, he went quiet.) [/QUOTE]
