Enabling The Root Account
While still booted from the installation DVD, choose Reset Password from
the Utilities menu.
In the Reset Password Utility, select the hard drive you just installed OS X onto.
Then choose the System Administrator (root) account from the drop-down
menu.
Set the password for the root account to our standard password.
Quit Reset Password.
Disabling Registration
While still booted from the installation DVD, choose Terminal from the Util-
ities menu.
For the next step, you must know the name of the drive you installed OS X
onto. Typically, the drive will be called ”Macintosh HD”. In the steps below,
replace ”Macintosh HD” with the actual name of the drive.
Type the following command (all on one line, capitalized exactly as shown):
touch /Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Type exit on the command line, and quit Terminal.
Initial Boot
Now continue the installation DVD steps, which should cause the computer to
restart.
Log in as ”root”, with the password you specified earlier.
If you are prompted to register the machine, simply quit the registration appli-
cation.
