Find root password
Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra and all my accounts now have Standard permissions, i.e. without administrator permissions.
How I either upgrade my administrator account or find the password for Root?
There is no root password. This is a disabled account. For good reasons.
You can enable the root account, but that increases your risk of being hacked much, because the root is a known account that has unlimited privileges. Enabling root makes your Mac a rich target environment.
But if that's how you want to live your life, Google "enable OS X root" and you will find several approaches.

How to reset the root password
I forgot the root password of my iMac that I dedicated to my children, for a long time, now, I came to use it and found it very slow and unresponsive, and I need to log in using the terminal and write unix commands to find out the real problem, but could not remember the password to root probably I created seven years ago.
as I remember that I needed to have the CD and reboot the system with the recovery disk, but I couldn't get there, shut up always back to the default disk.
Any help is appreciated?
Thank you

ESXi Installtion stuck on the root password screen
Hello world
I inherited a very small VM set up of 3 armies under vCenter and vSphere 5.5. I'm also very new to all of this. learner I want so please excuse any newbie questions!
I'm reinstalling EXSi on a host with two hard drives 3 fresh to a hard drive failure. It's all right until the Setup program allows you to 'Root' password screen where it used to let me enter a password at all.
If I type nothing happens and if I press on enter, nothing happens, aI can do is to press F9 to go back. ... Am I missing something or is there a reason that's not let me enter a password?
I can find something on this subject anywhere online.
Thank you very much
So I traced the problem down to a faulty KVM, so I'll go and sit in the corner with my cap of dunces on now!

customization of the Linux root password
Is there anything in the API to customize the root password in a vm Linux in the same way the Windows admin password can be defined?
Unfortunately, this is not possible with what is available in Linux prep, guestOSes Linux/UNIX is 2nd to Windows in the world of VMware and I hope that this will change sooner rather than later
What you can do as a work-around if you have or plan to install VMware Tools when the customer is put into service, is to have a default password and then use something like VMware VIX API to change the password or download a new hash of password. It is not ideal, but which as automated you can get today or by default available your host with the right password.

The default root password factory NB100
Anyone know what the default root password factory for a NB100 with Ubuntu 8.04 installed.
There is no password for root on Ubuntu, the root account is disabled from direct and interactive logins.
The first 'ordinary' created user will be in the "admin" group, and so after cutting as a normal user, you can use "sudo" to run commands as root temporarily.
I hope this helps.

HP Envy 700: Cannot find wifi password
Hello
I have two questions:
1: I have an HP Envy 700 office and I am connected to the internet via an ethernet cable. It seems that my computer has built in because it gives me a wifi network name, but when I try to open it, I need a password and I never remember having a password! I made Diagnostics and tried to find the password on my PC but not luck. Any ideas on how to get my password or reset it?
2: is it possible to have two wifi and always use a cable ethernet on my PC? I would use the WiFi from my PC with new smart tv that I just bought, so I can broadcast shows.
Thanks for any help!
Hello
1. you need to connect to your wireless router to know what is the password, OR you can reset your router and start over again.
Router must have a tiny hole and you can use a paper clip to reset. Plase to consult its manual.
2. Yes, you can use BOTH at the same time.
Kind regards.

Even after resetting the root of the directory utility password, I can't always run sudo. It should be simple: open a terminal, run su or sudo < program >.
I am at a loss.
Thank you
Track: Running "past root' allows me to change the root password. However, later, that I still cannot use sudo < cmd >. He repeated to me that the password is incorrect.
