Accessing root log-in credentials

Hi all As part of the fix process for our mail system, I need to log into our machine as “root” I always thought that once at the log-in screen, you could simply use “Root” as the user ID, and “root” as the password. Apparently, this isn’t the case any longer; although our old Snow Leopard

It still is, but I can use it. The way I do it is quite simple. Lynne configured and set up a virtual machine. All I do is click on the virtual machine (to which we have an alias) and it loads, simple as that. The nice thing about the Parallels interface is that there is no issue with the VM

Hi Colin Correct. But as I indicated in a previous post, I can use Parallels too, once the VM is configured. My better half configured it all for me, and just put an alias on our desktop. And then, away we go. Of course, I am comparing Fusion with Parallels 10 which is the current release.

Matthew Your default format should be fine, so I’d suspect you changed something when you burned the DVD. What did you expect to happen when you inserted it into your MacBook Pro? Are you not able to see the volume you burned at all? Gordon On 20 Sep 2014, at 13:31, Matthew Chao
