    In he middle of a system update (Leopard) my friend dropped some books on her
    Mac. It crashed and now it does not boot.

    I had her start it up in single-user mode in order to run Applejack (which I
    installed on her computer when she got it).

    After a long series of error messages, she typed in "applejack auto restart"
    and received the message "not authorized as the root user", which I have not
    seen before.

    Has anyone seen this before? Are you aware of a feature that would allow us to
    sign in as root user?

    Thanks for looking.

    Cheers,

    Kevin

    I am receiving this same error message. I am using an older version of
    applejack that is compatible with os x 10.3.9. Please advise on how to rectify
    the authorization issue.
    Kind thanks.
