Ok, I created a new user called 'root' then in shortname came 'root1' but when I logged on as 'root1' I had just the same capabilities as my regular login.
What I want is to have a login that can do anything, or as close to that as possible. But I couldn't get it.
I enabled mine through Netinfo Manager (in /Applications/Utilities/Netinfo Manager
First login as the first user you created when you installed OSX - which should have admin access. Pop up to the Security menu and pick Authenticate, where you pop that normal user's password in.
Then back to the Security menu, and the bottom option is Enable Root User. Once that's done you should be prompted for the root user's password, and all's well :)
