When I first click at the bottom, the button 'Adminstrator Mode' same dialog box, that closes at correct root password, but I am still left in non-root privileges (although there is now a red line arround the dialog window) but most of the settings that one should be able to change are grey .. because I still am not yet in root-privilege mode the user I was logged in which is part ot the group wheel (I a terminal window I can do aan su -, give the root paswsword and have all root privileges)
