SticMAC™ Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Boot from the DVD and under utils reset the user password, which will also be your root password....... SticMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You shouldn't be using the root account for everyday tasks. Sudo exists for a reason. But if necessary, Boot from the install DVD and go to Utilities > Reset Password... > Choose root, set a password. im not sure? Then don't post?
