[OT] Recover Files From OS X User Account

[Scott Rossi]

Thanks to all the folks who chimed in about recovering user-account files on
OS X.  Enabling the root user was indeed the solution that allowed me to
access the user files -- while I haven't gone through all of them to see if
any damage was done, they all were recovered without issue, and the drive
reformatted.

Annoyingly, the whole mess was initiated by a standard system update from
Apple which, in the years of running their updates, has never caused an
issue.  Guess it was bound to happen.

Make backups of your stuff!
