I have forgotten/lost the Unix root/admin password on my Mac. It used to be the same as my Mac login, but it isn't anymore.
Hi Peter,
if you find Terminal in your Applications and start it, just type this in the command line:
sudo -i
this should ask for your (not root) password, and then give you root privileges.
That did it. Thank you very much.
Awesome! Glad to have in the Facebook group, feel free to message and post a question there.
