Can't log in as root user

Somehow my computer lost the ability to login as a root user. I noticed the problem when I tried to install a software update. When it prompted me for administrator username and password it usually has my username stored, it didn't. I typed my username and password but it didn't take. I opened Netinfo Manager to enable root user, but after I authenticate, the enable root user is dimmed.
I tried logging out of user but there is not "other" option to login as root user. I can't create a new user in accounts because it's locked and to unlock it I need the correct administrator username.
I've also tried boot from CD to reset password. When I select my boot drive it gives me no options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is only one root user, so saying "a root user" doesn't make sense. What you mean is an admin user, and it looks like your account has somehow manage to lose its admin privileges.
Follow the instructions in I lost my admin user and you should get them back.
Note that in this User Tip, 'youruser' is a placeholder. You are supposed to substitute the short name of your account wherever it appears.

  • How do I log in as root user.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro fix requires logging in as root user.  Instruction link only refers to OS X Lion and before, which does not work in Yosemite.

    Rednik55,,
    Important: If you are not familiar with the meaning of "root user," read this entire article to learn important precautionary information before using the root user. You must have an administrator account and password to complete the steps below.
    About the root user
    The user named "root" is a special user in UNIX-style operating systems that has read and write privileges to all areas of the file system. The root user should only be used for specific administration or monitoring tasks. After completing a task as the root user, you should log out of Mac OS X and log back in using a normal or administrator account. You should disable root access if you do not use it often.
    The root user does not appear in Users or Accounts preferences.
    Important notes
    Only the owner of a computer or its designated administrator(s) should have an administrator account or the root password.
    Any user with an administrator account can become the root user or reset the root password.
    A root password should be difficult to guess, containing both numbers and letters within the first eight characters.
    A root user has the ability to access other users' files.
    The root user has the ability to relocate or remove required system files and to introduce new files in locations that are protected from other users.
    How to Enable the root user
    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.
    How to Login as the root user
    If you are logged in, choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    If you are logging in from a list of usernames with pictures, click Other.
    In the Name field, type: root
    In the Password field, type the password you defined in the steps above.
    How to disable the root user
    From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
    From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
    Click on the lock and authenticate with 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 Disable Root User from the Edit menu.
    Please be careful as the Root user. Once you are done make sure you disable it.

  • WHY does "Apple Help" crash - unless I log in as Root User ?

    After an archive and reinstall of Leopard following some serious permissions problems with configuration of the original install things are working pretty well again - - EXCEPT, that every time I as the user-administrator try to open "Apple Help" from the finder desktop, the blank app window opens and then crashes like clockwork before any text appears in the window.
    If I log out and log in as root user, the Help app runs fine. This would seem to be a permissions issue, but I have just run permissions repair from the install CD on the boot volume and everything seems OK with both it and the file system.
    Is there a way to get Help running again from my ordinary user account without another long and drawn out reinstall of the whole OS ?
    Why does it run OK from the root account but not mine ?

    I realize this question has been answered but I would like to add a little about permissions.
    When a person does an Upgrade or Archive and Install saving user settings, the GID (group ID) is set at 501....
    This is NOT really correct or the way it should be.
    When a person does an Archive and Install without saving user settings or an Erase and Install, or they purchase a new computer with Leopard already on it, then the GID for the user is set at 20......
    I have redone most of my installs so I now have the UID at 501 and the GID at 20 just the way it should be when you buy a new Mac.
    Apple has come up with somewhat of a terminal fix but they still need to address more of these user permission problems.. Hopefully in the next update....
    Just for everyones reference.

  • HT1528 I can not find the enable root user in, I am using Lion

    I can not find the enable root user in, I am using Lion

    First off, it is a "Bad" idea to enable 'root', as that is the one known account that exists on every Unix system.  If 'root' is enabled, it makes it much easier to break into a Mac via the one account that has absolute control over everything.
    Having said that...
    i too do not observe in editor section enable root user when I perform what Kappy offered in link.
    Did you click on "Login Options" to get the "Join..." button?
    Did you click on "Open Directory Utility" ?
    Did you go to the Menu Bar and click "Edit"?  It should be right there 2/3's of the way down the "Edit" menu -> "Enable Root User"
    If you want another way.
    Start an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session
    sudo su -
    password:  <enter your admin password here>
    passwd
    Changing password for root.
    New password:
    Retype new password:
    You have now enabled 'root'.  I hope you gave 'root' a very VERY STRONG password, as you have just opened yourself up for script kiddies to go after your root account.

  • Can't log in as a user created in Workgroup Manager

    I am a little confused about users created in Workgroup Manager.
    I have created an account with all the proper permissions to log in etc. Their home directory is listed as afp://home/Users (home is the name of the server). The directory for the user I am trying to log in as doesn't exist yet.
    When I try to log into the server "home" with this newly created user, I get the vibrating window that indicates the log in failed.
    I am used to windows and AD where I would create a user in AD and then use something like \\domain\user to log in to the machine as that user. If i wanted to create a local user on that machine, I could do that too and then log in as \\machine\user to get the local user.
    Are Workgroup Manager created users like AD users? Can I use them to log into any machine on the network hooked up to the SL server machine? In this case I want to log into the SL Server machine with this user.
    Thanks for any insight

    Root user is enabled and password set. Can't seem to get the "other" in the log in window when I log out as my admin, so I can login as root. Do I need to reinstall OS X.

  • Can't log in as root via ssh, secure.log says it has expired

    Hi,
    I've followed the guides to enable the root account via Directory Utility but I can't log in via ssh. In secure.log I get:
    Apr 26 09:09:56 snowy sshd[1797]: in pamsmauthenticate(): Failed to determine Kerberos principal name.
    Apr 26 09:10:00 snowy sshd[1794]: error: PAM: user account has expired for root from <xxxx hostname removed for privacy> via 10.0.0.1
    I've tried enabling/disabling the root account, changing its password.. I've made sure the root account is enabled in sshd_config and that it has a valid shell in /etc/shells.
    If anyone can tell me how to fix this I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Nevermind I figured it out, needed to enable ssh for 'Administrators' group in Sharing -> Remote access

  • Can't log into my main user acct! How can I fix this? Help, I'm stumped!

    OK, here's the problem. While using my machine with VMware, I got the beachball of death. Nothing would respond and no keystrokes would bring up force quit. I finally had to press and hold start to shutdown.
    When I restarted my machine first the grey screen came up and then a grey progress line was shown and finally completed. After that, the regular log in screen came up.
    Here is where the problem begins. When I go to log in, (enter my password) it pauses briefly and then a blue screen comes up for a moment, and then it returns to the log in screen. This is a never ending cycle and the same thing happens if I shutdown and restart.
    I can however log in into the guest account OK
    Here's what I've done so far. Opened Disk Utility from guest acct and repaired permissions and reset PRAM. So far no luck,
    If all attempts to log in fail, can I access my main user files from the guest account? I suppose if I have to reload everything I can restart in Target mode and get everything off to an external HD.
    Please, if you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!!!

  • IWeb '08 works when logged-in as 'root' user

    Hi,
    iWeb '08 converted my old sites and crashed. Since then, iWeb crashes when starting. I logged-out and logged-in as root, in this case iWeb can open my old sites. But, if I log-in again as usual (not root) then iWeb refuses to open my old sites... Any help?
    follow-up:
    I changed the permissions of 'Domain.sites2' and then iWeb seems to open it and suddenly crashes again...
    Xtoff
    Message was edited by: Christophe THEVIGNOT

    I had a similar permission error message when attempting to publish, that also said that the disk could be full. Turned out to be that I had a mp3 file name with an equals and / sign in it - must have been an illegal character? The old iWeb didn't choke on it for some reason...
    Might not apply to you, but I hope this helps -

  • After Using Migration Assistant Can't Log On With That User Account

    I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro.  Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually.  After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password.  I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck.  On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password.  I then rebooted and tried again.  No luck. 
    Can somebody help me with this problem? 
    Thank you.

    Hi jenaS,  sorry to hear that you're havig an issue after refresh of the system, if ur logged in using a live account it shouldnt change or remove the pin, if you are usin a local account the issue there might be in the profile on the system it might be corrupted, do you have a screen shot of the issue?

    Just recently I've had a problem logging on to other user accounts.
    I can long on the the master account... but when I try to log on to other accounts I can't past the "initializing" progress bar, it just keeps going.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • NCS 1.1 Can't log in as root

    Hi,
    I'm preparing to migrate from WCS to NCS.
    I've got my licenses and I'm ready to go.
    I've downloaded and installed the small distritubtion on my VMware platform.
    The image loads up and the web starts, but there seems to be something missing from the setup part of it.
    When I go to the web login, I'm meant to log in with the root user.
    From the documentation, I see that I should have been prompted for a web user login, as root and that in the install or setup process Im meant to set a root password, however. I'm never prompted for this.
    In the docs it says:
    Installing NCS ...
    *  Cisco Prime Network Control System Setup    *
    Enter "^" to return to previous question.
    HA Primary Machine
    *  High Availability Role Selection        *
    Will this server be used as a Secondary for HA? (yes/no)[no]:
    *  Web Interface Root Password Selection   *
    Enter root password:
    Enter root password again:
    *  FTP Password Selection                  *
    Enter ftp password:
    Enter ftp password again:
    *  Summary                                     *
    Server will not be a Secondary
    Root Password is set.
    Ftp Password is set.
    Apply these settings? (y/n)n
    This never shows up on my install.
    I've even tried to reset the password manually with the admin user from CLI, but to no avail.
    Please help!

    a short info on NCS (WAN) I found on CCO (to let you know what you have downloaded...)
    form the Quick Start Guide:
    "Prime NCS (WAN) provides lifecycle management of Cisco routers and switches, simplifying the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of these devices. Prime NCS (WAN) helps deploy and manage Cisco Borderless Network architectures and services with a focus on WAN and multi-service branch networks. "
    the documentation overview:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/prime/network_control_system/1.1/documentation/list/ncs_wan_doclist.html
    and the release notes:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/prime/network_control_system/1.1/release/notes/ncs_rn.html
    I am not sure, but I asssume that LMS will finally (at the far end) be merged/converted into this product..

    Hello @snowprint1411,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how you are not able to log in to a preferred user account, and that the screen goes black. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure that there is no service or background program that is causing this issue, I recommend booting your computer into Windows 8 Safe Mode. If you are able to successfully log in this way, I also suggest following this resource on how to Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files. This should help enable you to log into your preferred user profile normally.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
