Thank you for being patient in helping me out. I checked it /etc/passwd and found this line which I think is the reference for UID 70
_www:*:70:70:World Wide Web Server:/Library/WebServer:/usr/bin/false I did "su - _www" (I hope I did this right). It still asked for a password which I entered my root password (the only password that I know) and it complained that the password is wrong. Please advise.
