Hello all,
I am wondering if there is a way I can set the root password from
the terminal. By default when I set up my mac I did not specify a root
password. When I go into the terminal and type
su root
it asks me for my root password and I just hit enter because i don't
have one and it fials
Then I try doing
passwd root
It asks me for my old password, I just press enter, and complete the
new fgields and it fails. Is this a problem with not having a root
password by default? I am sitting at a $ prompt and have no idea how
to do this. I can use software update and what not, but I just can'
set a password and I'd like to do that just because I can. Thanks for
any help you can provide.
Cody
