I have been following this thread, as I need to do this for a friend. I tried to follow Apple's instructions on how to log in as root. for 10.2, it says: "1. If you are logged in to Mac OS X, choose Log Out. 2. If you are logging in from a list of user names with pictures, click Other. 3. In the Name field, type: root 4. In the Password field, type the password you defined in the steps above. ". Where is the other button, or is there some other way I cant figure at 7am. Thanks all, and Chris - Great quote!!
