You must have physical access to the computer. During system startup, wait
until you see the "Cleaning up..." on the startup screen, then quickly press
CTRL-C two or three times. This will halt the system startup, press RETURN
one time to enter MachTen in single-user mode. You should be at a '#'
prompt. Type '/usr/bin/passwd' then change the root password when prompted.
Now run 'sync' twice from the '#' prompt, then run '/sbin/reboot'. Once
MachTen quits completely, drag and drop the MachTen_FFS or CodeBuilder_FFS
onto 'Fast File First Aid" repeatedly until FFFA gives the FFS file a clean
bill of health. Restart MachTen and login with your new root password.

As far as we know, you cannot do this with Drive Setup. We recommend using

when creating a scratch partition.
