Excuse me a second while I hypervenelate. I haven't tried my root pw, but I will when I get home (gasp, hope I can remember it). So I tried my own password (which is simply a carriage return since I don't use a password) - nope, no go. Username reads 'System Administrator' (not admin) and the password field is then blank.
I can boot into it normally with admin rights and without being challenged for a password.Īll is fine, until I run disk utility, then I am challenged for. My emergency (2nd internal drive) is where the wierdness comes from. My primary volume (internal drive) boots up normally without challenge and password since I elected not to use a password (yeah, I know it's shameful to do that).
First, thank you very very much for your replies.Īs a sole user of that Mac, I'm admin no matter what.
