    Smile Mmmmkay, do this:

    Do this:

    1.) Open your NetInfo Manager (in the utilities folder)
    2.) Go to the Domain menu and go to Security: Change Root Password.
    3.) Enter your root password.
    4.) Log out.
    5.) Log in as username root, password (your password that you just entered)
    6.) Delete your old Stuffit.

    Hope this helps...
