As the user "me" give yourself a password. You can do this
in the standard Unix way from a terminal window command line,
or with the "Preferences" GUI. Then log out. This will activate
the GUI login window. Now log in as root, and give root a password.

See <
http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/Black/Laser/index.html >.
For that matter, look at the whole site, it is full of NeXT information.
Also look around at <
http://www.peak.org/~luomat/ >
which is another repository of NeXT information.
