The "root" account is always there, so all you need to do is make sure you know the password for it. This you can do by booting from the original MacOS X install disk and resetting the root password from there. You can then log back into the computer proper as "root" with the new password, and fix what needs fixing. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
