Step 3Setup the Root User Account...
If you haven't enabled your Root User account, you will need to do this now. I'm going to show you how using the utility NetInfo Manager since we will be using this same utility for the next few steps.
Locate and open NetInfo Manager from the Utilities folder located in your Applications folder (picture 1).
Pull down the Security menu and select Authenticate... (picture 2) or click the lock in the lower-left corner. Enter your Administrator password when requested.
Return to the Security menu and select Enable Root User (picture 3). You will be asked to supply a new password for this account. Use a unique and strong password here as you really don't want anyone else messing around in this account! Once this is done, quit out of NetInfo Manager.
