Mr.Mac Help Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 What is the root to get to Disk Utility. I can only use Safe mode and it won't let me search for it, THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifrit05 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 You can change root's password by using the terminal command: "sudo passwd root" Without quotes. Type the new password and you should be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mac Help Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I meant how do I get to disk utilities but, I figured it out. Go to Applications, Click Utilities, And you have Disk Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifrit05 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Ahhh ok lol. You said root so I thought you needed to change root's password to use diskutil. Anyways, you can use spotlight (the magnifier glass symbol at the upper right hand side of the screen) to search for programs and files easier than browsing your computer for them. (you can also use it as a calculator, i.e. "1+3" and it will give you "4", which is pretty handy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mac Help Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 THNX but remember I was using safe mode which meant that I couldn't use Spotlight. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
