If you boot from OS 9, you can do whatever you want to that file. Be careful! Additionally, if you follow file path /Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager and launch NetInfo Manager, you can follow the menu path Domain>Security to setup and enable the root user on your maching, aka the superuser. WRITE THE ROOT USER PASSWORD DOWN AND PUT IT IN A SAFE PLACE! DO *NOT* PROCEED UNTIL THIS IS DONE! After this is done, choose "Logout" from the Apple menu and log back in as the superuser by clicking on "Other" and typing in "root" as the username and the password you assigned. If "Other" does not appera, choose "System Preferences" from the Apple menu and go to the Users pane; you will be able to control what shows in the login window there. Once you are logged in as the superuser, all application programs, including the Finder, Terminal, and everything else launches with root access, and you can do pretty much whatever you want, but, again, BE CAREFUL. If you tell UNIX to do something silly, it won't second-guess you--it'll just do it, often before you even realize it's started.
