Login as a guest user
Launch Terminal
Quit Terminal
Launch NetInfo Manager
Select in the Recent items menu: Terminal

You're root. (I just had a fear while writing this that the account I used was an admin one, but I just checked and it's not an admin account)

I have not had the possibility to check what happens if you had not enabled the root account via NetInfo or sudo passwd root

I can confirm this. I just tried this, from admin & non-admin logins, with root disabled in NetInfo manager - and it makes me root. D'Oh!
