HOW TO: Enabling root on a new server?

[Michael Williams]

Alright all,

First and foremost, you ladies and gents have been *amazingly*  
responsive and helpful; for that I thank you.

We've gotten the "root" issue resolved.  I fiiiiiiinally spoke to  
someone that was familiar enough to log a request for good ole  
"single user mode" to simply blast the root password.  I had root  
access within 15 minutes.  It turns out that even the root password  
they had on hand was wrong so they were forced to resolve the issue.   
I am now all-powerful. . .well on that server anyway. ;)  I will  
likely be keeping Plesk around in the short term in order to allow  
"lower" admins to easily set up a few clients, but its days are  
numbered.

Thanks again for all your input/help.

Best Regards,
Michael
