It looks like this:Īnything’s better than nothing, which is the password the root user has now, but make it strong just in case. Once it opens, click the lock and enter your password and then under the Edit menu you’ll have the option to change the root password. You can find Directory Utility via the instructions in that link, but you can also hit command-space now to open Spotlight and just type it in. If a Root User is already enabled, to ensure a blank password is not set, please follow the instructions from the ‘Change the root password’ section. To enable the Root User and set a password, please follow the instructions here. In the meantime, setting a root password prevents unauthorized access to your Mac.

We are working on a software update to address this issue. It didn’t work on a 10.13 (17A365) machine, but that one is also loaded up with AOL bloatware - sorry, Oath bloatware - which may affect things. So far this has worked on every preference panel we’ve tried, and when I used “root” at the login screen it immediately created and pulled up a new user with system administrator privileges. Do not leave your Mac unattended until this is resolved. You can add administrators, change critical settings, lock out the current owner, and so on. Once you log in, you’ve essentially authenticated yourself as the owner of the computer. Needless to say, this is incredibly, incredibly bad. The bug appears to have been first noticed by Lemi Orhan Ergin, founder of Software Craftsman Turkey, who noted it publicly on Twitter. Doing so creates a “root” account that others may be able to take advantage of if you don’t disable it. There’s no need to do this yourself to verify it. After a few tries, it should log right in. No need to do that any more! Just enter “root” instead of your user name and hit enter.
