Description
The uninstall terminal routine asks for a password... I have none on the system and therefore can't complete the uninstall. What is the password that it is requesting. I used none in the original install.

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...

Please ask these questions on the Mac OS X forum. (http://forums.virtualbox.org) I'm sure people will be happy to help you there. This bug tracker is not meant to be a medium for asking questions.
Your Mac OS root password I presume.
