legionX Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I've tried sudo, and su I tried changing the root password, but it won't let me and this is a fresh install (Leo4All 10.5.2) I also tried the "enabling root in Leopard" thing I saw when I googled it, but the Directory tool doesn't seem to have any way to "enable root" that I can find. Please help, I need to edit some kexts to get everything working right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex HQuest Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I've never used "su" directly: always went to "sudo bash" and worked with my current user's password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 In a terminal window type "sudo -s" and enter your regular password. Then entering "uid" should show your userid as "root". That doesn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tman26 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Make sure you actually have a password set instead of it just being blank, that can really screw with someone lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
