Oct 23, 2012 3:23 PM in response to Linc Davisby shinda13,Hi,
Thank you for your help!
When I change the directory name and open the terminal, 'directory does not exist' is generated. Also, the instructions for enabling the root user in Mac OS X Moutain Lion are fine up to the point where they state that the user set up a password for root. I didn't see that option.

If you can't figure it out from the instructions provided by Apple, I suggest you get someone more experienced to help you. I'm not comfortable trying to help when I can't see what you're doing.
