Enable root user in Lion.

[David]

Hey All,

 

I’m looking for a scripty type method to enable the root user with a specific password in my Vanilla 10.7 image.  How do I go about doing this? Thanks for any help.

 

Cheers,

David

David,

The command is “dsenableroot -u adminname -p adminpassword -r rootpassword“. So if your admin’s named admin and the password is pwd, and you want to set the root password to rooty:

#!/bin/bash
dsenableroot -u admin -p pwd -r rooty
