10.3: Yet another method of enabling root
Authored by: dhirsch226 on Dec 01, '03 11:07:15PM

I recently needed to login as root when trying to change the main account. It is quite tricky to do, because at some point you need to be the account you are trying to change. I ended up stuck, without any account bearing administrator access. I needed to use the boot-from-CD-and-enable-root so I could login as root and make the changes to the main account.
