How to: Disable Root User in El Capitan

TerminalIconFor anyone that uses Linux or Unix, they know about the Root User option.  This is a username that allows anyone to have access to the entire Unix/Linux operating system, and should only be used by System Administrators.

Mac OS X 10.11 now has the ability to disable this feature so one doesn't have to worry about users gaining access to an entire system.  Here's how:

  1.  Go to Finder > Utilities > Terminal to open a Terminal Window.
  2. Type in the following: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0";sudo reboot
  3. Close the Terminal window, and reboot the computer.
  4. Now the Root user is now disabled.
