The command line will not accept the root password. I know for sure the password is correct. I inserted Mac OSX Instal disk number one into the CD slot, made a new password, then restarted the computer, no go. Permission denied. Strange I’ve been using the same password for 2 years this never happened before.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be much appreciated.
