Enable writing to the disk like I said in the AppleTPMACPI.kext topic and use this to change the password: passwd curtis (curtis is the root) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293-root-password-and-vmwaretools/#findComment-2022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "tiger-x86-flat.img" version. edit: on the deadmoo account.

bano_in_kc Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 sudo passwd root Has always been the standard method. But in OSX there is never been any real need to use the root account for anything. Most people simply use sudo to do things as root, the way it should be.
