You can always avoid any excessive exposure to NetInfo by using
nidump and niload. In this case, dump the passwd file:
nidump passwd / > passwd.dmp
edit it, replacing whatever is in root's password with your user
passwd.
niload passwd -m < passwd.dmp
And then su - with your password for root's, change it to
something else, and hey presto.
You can add yourself to the group file's admin group the same way.
The only place I have found this netinfo<->flatfiles stuff to not
work is adding name resolvers, but that's well documented elsewhere.

Think of your family tonight. Try to crawl home after the computer
