I am trying to allow the root login on my 13" MacBook. I found the following instructions on the web:
============================================
How to enable the root user
OS X Lion
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.
=========================================
I am able to do every step on the instructions up till the portion where it says to "Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu" This portion does not appear on my system. I do not show the "Edit menu" where I can select to "enable root user"
Has anyone been able to do this?
TIA
Javier
