Ok. I was able to set a master password. but I still can't become
root. I tried what David suggested going into net info manager and
activating the root user and then setting a ppassword, but still su
doesn't work. It says su password: I type in my password and then it
says su: sorry. I'm not sure what's going on here, but its really
weird.

need it again.
Were you able to set a Master password? If not, there is the
ability to reset this password with the Install DVD. At least
there used to be in Panther and jaguar. I haven't actually did it
in Tiger but I think it's still there. Simply startup your machine
with the Install DVD (restart it with the DVD in your machine and
right after the chime sounds, hold down the "c" key) and wait for
the first dialog. Then turn on VO and go to the menubar and there
should be a "Reset Master Password" option under one of the menus.
If you were able to set the Master Password and you still got this
message, sorry for making you read all this.
Later...
