Please forgive me but I'm not sure what you mean. I'm somewhat new to the
Mac world. I have no clue what the root password is or what you are
referring to. Any help would be much appreciated. I did go in under
accounts and give a specific name to me as administrator and gave a
password but still it does not work... See below...

I don't know what I did but, when I ran the uninstall after a restart, there was nothing to uninstall...this after multiple attempts to run the uninstall routine and it asking for a password to complete.
So, everything is now gone. Seems like some kind of bug but I guess no one else had any solution so...
thanks for at least viewing the previous post...
