Instructions for Enabling and using the "root" user in OSX 10.8

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331 you clck on "Open Directory Utility" in the Network Account Server section of the Users & Groups system preferences.

However, I don't see anything of that name in the preference (running 10.8.3).

EDIT: it is in the "Login Options" section.

Go to Login Options on the Users & Groups preference pane. That's where you'll find the Network Account Server button. Click "edit" and on the drop-down that will open you'll see the Open Directory Utility button.

Regards.

Seems to have changed since 10.6. Any suggestions?

You don't want to run as root. Anything you need to do as root can be more easily done with sudo.
