Hi,
Another option would be if that umprivileged user is in sudoers
with permission to run the root shell (sudo -s). It doesn't need to be
in wheel to do that.

|To answer the initial question, you'll need to login to the system on the
local console. You cannot get root access via the network unless you're
running another remote access service besides ssh which will allow you to login
as root directly.
