I didn't. Maybe the "root" is not necessarily on the 'Lion'?

The article from Apple I linked to had instructions for enabling root in
most flavours of OSX, maybe I should have cut'n'pasted it instead.

I can't help but think about the analogy to the saying about the price
of yachts, where if you have to ask the price of the yacht, then you
can't afford it. (Not strictly true, as I know at least one person who
owns a small yacht, but would not have been able to swing a more
expensive one, but it is still a common saying.)

In the case of a root login, I have to think that anyone who can't
figure out how to make one is automatically high on the list of people
who should not have one.

It was perfectly placed for anyone who was interested to obtain a viable
answer. My thought is that the OP maybe should not try such a thing if s/he
cannot follow your excellent tip.
