Enabling the root Account on Your Mac

There are several ways to enable the root account on your handy-dandy Apple Mac. The simplest one I can think of is to open a terminal window and type the following:

%   sudo passwd root
Enter Password: {type your current password here}
 Changing password for root
New password:  {type your new root password here}
Verify password: {re-type your new root password here}
