Unlock the phone before rooting?

[Rizz1-2]

So I have been researching Rooting and all that comes with it. I don't plan on doing it for a few weeks but I want all the information I can find. When I first started looking, some site's were saying you have to unlock the phone before rooting. Is this true for the RAZR too? I cant seem to find any instructions of info on it. Maybe I'm asking the wrong question or something, but either way I'm getting no where :-\ Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

By unlocking I think you mean the bootloader of the phone and, no, it is not required to get root access. Go to this link, http://forums.androidcentral.com/razr-rooting-roms-hacks/140251-root-method-xda.html , and you'll probably find it is quite simple.
