feriso Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Bascially what I am trying to do is get my root privilages back as I log on but not with admin rights. This came about as I went ahead and install 10.5.2 update witout realiseing there'd be a problem (didn't read the thread) and I got a hpet error. I though that I might be able to recover the data and apps I already have on there by reinstalling from the DVD onto the same partition with out erasing it. THis worked and I'm up and running but when I do log on I do not have admin privilages and when I tried my old username/password in the authentication box it didn;t like it. THis alo happened with sudo in terminal. Any idea how I can gain root access back with a complete reinstall.
