Hi All, I recently purchased a co-located server from Cedant and need to enable the root user. It's running FreeBSD 6.1. Currently there appears to be no root user enabled on the server. I can't even "su" to root. I've tried using "pw" to add my user to "wheel" but I receive a warning informing me that I must be root to even do such a thing. You can see my quandary. Please advise. Regards, Michael
