            The quick fix is sudo pwd to change the root password to something non-blank. I assume apple with have a fix out quick.

                    Check the app store for new updates. There's an update available to fix this one.

                        For as logical and well mannered as people here are, it is frustrating to even visit Mango and try to have a conversation as an Apple user.

                          It isn't the bug is doing a PW check against the disabled account, or is enabling this disabling the account for the check.

                                        seriously.... fuck crapple in their self righteous ass....

                                        For as logical and well mannered as people, it is frustrating to even visit Mango and try to have a conversation as an Apple user.

                                        Logical and well mannered apple users are the tiny minority.

                                        As are educated and logical places on the internet to have conversations about technology... so let's keep this one.

                                        Educated and logical places on the internet are more prevalent than non-shitty apple users, soooo.........

                                        That could mean that both this place and non-shitty apple users are equally rare. Why you gotta be a douche-canoe?

                                        OMG, please let me roll over and submit my soft underbelly to the apple user base.... oh, wait.....

                                        show me some non-douche canoe apple users, and I might agree.

                                        I guess we'd have to start with the fact that you wouldn't agree even if you knew that there were non-shitty Apple users here.

                                            Why is root enabled by default?

                                            Because apple sucks ass?

                                            OK. Because that was the answer I was looking for :SMH

                                            Well, to start, I didn't pay for my laptop. My job did. That doesn't me make me a non-douche apple user that makes me smarter because they paid for it and I didn't!
