Patrick, Are you sure that applies to the root account? It sounds like I have to use the single-user mode to update the PW for root.

 

What Lies Beneath, Not sure you read my question right. We are not using it but in emergency situations. We are looking to update the password. We have the password, I'm wanting to know if the only way to update the root password is to treat it as a "lost" password even when I have the password.

 

And thanks all!

    Understood. As you've found, password works, and not just in single user mode.
