Forgive me if I'm wrong since I haven't tested this, but wouldn't the following work: (Assuming you still have a normal user account with "Admin" rights, and you know its password) 1) Open a terminal 2) Execute "sudo passwd" 3) Enter your account's password 4) Enter new root password twice If I'm insane, kill me now. :) -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
