Enable 'root' the Easy Way

Hey guys, this is Mac. Heads on! This is just going to be a video, um, on how to enable root on your Mac, um, with administrator privileges.

Now, we have another video on how to enable root on a Mac, um, but it only works on Leopard. And, um, it works on any machine, but it involves turning off the computer and stuff. If you have an administrator account, um, then you'd be able to do it with this.

First, you want to open up, and if you have the application somewhere else, it's okay, but you want to open up Applications, go down to Utilities, and you want to find something called Directory Utility. Then you want to click the lock to make changes and type your username and your password.

Then you go up to Edit, and then this will normally say "Enable Root User." When you click that, this thing will come up to enter the new password for the root user. You just want to type a password, and you're not hit enter, and that'll set the root password.

Um, so that's how to set the root password when you want to log in as root. And that can't show this to you on Screenflow with sound, so, um, you're not going to hear this. But basically what I'm going to be doing is in the login window, I'm going to, um, select "Other," log in as root, but I'm not going to finish logging. I'll just show you one.

Okay, so that was just a demonstration of what you would do. Um, but yeah, so okay, so that's basically how to, um, how to enable root and how to use the login window to log in as root.

So, thank you for watching my kids in the one. Subscribe and goodbye!

Identifying force vectors for pendulum: Worked example | AP Physics 1 | Khan Academy

We’re told that a ball attached to a string swings in a horizontal circle at constant speed. As shown below, the string makes an angle theta with the horizontal. Which arrows show all the forces on the ball? So pause this video and see if you can figure t…

When to use z or t statistics in significance tests | AP Statistics | Khan Academy

What I want to do in this video is give a primer on thinking about when to use a z statistic versus a t statistic when we are doing significance tests. So, there’s two major scenarios that we will see in an introductory statistics class. One is when we a…

Energy graphs for simple harmonic motion | Simple harmonic motion | AP Physics 1 | Khan Academy

What I have drawn here is a mass sitting on a frictionless surface that is attached to a spring that is attached to the wall. What we’re going to do is we’re going to compress the spring; we’re going to get the mass to position A. Right now it’s at positi…

Introduction to chemistry | Atoms, compounds, and ions | Chemistry | Khan Academy

Here some picture of what most people associate when they think of chemistry. They think of scientists working on a bench with the different vials of different chemicals. They might think of a mad scientist, some of them boiling and changing colors. They …

Period of a Pendulum | Simple harmonic motion and rotational motion | AP Physics 1 | Khan Academy

So a simple pendulum is just a mass hanging from a string, and if you were to pull this mass—sometimes it’s called a pendulum bob—if you were to pull it back and then let go, gravity would act as a restoring force, and this mass would swing back and forth…
