How to get root on your macOS X (10.1)
Here’s how you can gain root acces on your MacOS X jaguar 10 installation. Start your Macintosh and hold down the command (the apple key) and S. It will boot with a shell, then type (without the quotes!) “/sbin/mount -wu /” This will mount your system disk. Then type “/sbin/SystemStarter” Now it will boot all systems and wil give you a root shell. Now change the password so you can acces it with “su” in a terminal, with “passwd root“. Then do CTRL - D to exit and the system will boot the MacOS X GUI again… That’s it.There’s a fix for it, look for it on http://www.securemac.com/
