Admin account went

Hello

I have an iMac 27 inches and for the last week has had problems with everything works really slow. I bought the clean my Mac 3 software and it at the start of the performance. A few days later my computer on from without my help.

When I turned on the computer back, I don't the option connect to my Admin account, although I could still see my background image was still there. The only option was to connect as a guest.

I looked on the forums for help and her I made this following without result.

Entered my Admin user name with password and it did not work. I then reinstalled Safari and nothing has changed. I looked again on the forums and tried to launch the Terminal and typed in 1 s/users and the response has been - command not found.

All my programs are always present, but I still have no option to log in as administrator. I was going to update to OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 Sierra, but without an Admin Im unable to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

See you soon

I bought the clean my Mac 3 software...

'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

  • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
    • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
    • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
    • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
    • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.
    • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

To remove 3 CleanMyMac itself, use its Uninstall module, followed the following additional steps:

  • Delete the file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    • To access this file, copy and Paste the following line in the menu to go to Finder > go to folder...

~/Library/LaunchAgents/

    • Locate the following file and drag it to the Trash:

com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  • Then, open  (menu Apple) > System Preferences > users and groups > login items.
  • Select the item of Menu of CleanMyMac3
  • Click on the [-] (button less).
  • Restart your Mac.

Beware that reinstall OS X has no effect on deletion CleanMyMac or reverse the damage, it is able to inflict on a system. To recover from the effects of using it to change the OS X / Sierra, you need additional software and essential files you need, follow the applicable recovery procedure below:

  • If you have a backup that you created before using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, start macOS Recoveryand in the form of Mac OS X utilities , select restore from a Time Machine backup. Choose a date prior to the installation of CleanMyMac.
  • If you don't have a backup previous use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do this read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.
    • The recovery procedure require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user account whose content will be empty. You can then use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents, including photos, music, products of work and other essential files.
    • To erase and install OS X read How to reinstall Mac OS on your Mac.
      • Follow step 2 to completely erase the internal memory of the CMA: delete a volume using disk utility.
      • Then follow the procedure to move your content to a new Mac.
      • When asked how you want to transfer your data, select transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup or boot disk.
      • Under Select the information to transfer, select only your old user account and do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or 'other files and folders. Deselect these choices.
    • After using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software that you might need, once more without forgetting to install the software from their original sources and by omitting all non-essential software.
    • "Non-essential software" is a broad category that includes, but is not limited to the products 'antivirus' third party 'cleaning' and 'maintenance '.

  • Trunk / normal boot - access denied message: may have to open a session using the admin account to make specified changes

    I went into safe mode to try to resolve a problem that is "slow". When I tried to goback to normal startup, I got an access denied message. "... May have to login using the admin account to make specified changes." I am the only user of the computer and administer and logged as soon as I turn on count it. What can I do now?

    Is this the message you see:

    "An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an administrator account to perform the changes specified"

    If so, I bet you have a HP printer, because there is an HP PML driver that produces this effect of nuisance. It is only a nuisance and you should still be able to make your changes of msconfig, and they should stick. However, if she is really bugging you, you can watch this:

  • Admin account locked out

    Something strange is happening with my Windows 7. We had two accounts of users out there: mine (which was also the Admin account) and my wife. None of these accounts had a password. (Perhaps not a good idea, but no one else uses your computer.)

    Last night, my wife was not appear on the display of connection opening, but there was an empty profile called "user". When I connected who and entered in the user account of my wife, he let connect us.

    I went to users to see if I could see what was going on and I don't know how it happened, but the next thing I knew, without entering anything at all, he said that there is a password on my Admin account.

    Then I logged back on job connect screen, now my wife account appears and there is only the 'User' profile Virgin appeared to me. If I log in it and enter my username, it asks for a password - password that I never created and therefore do not know. So now I'm stuck on the Admin account to my computer.

    Is there something I can do?

    There are two things you can do:

    • Restart your machine in Repair Mode, with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows to a point before your problems began.
    • Plan ahead. Have a single administrator account involves some obvious risks. You must have two accounts admin fully tested, with their details recorded on paper.

    Post again if you want more details.

  • Help! Cannot return to admin account

    I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion g6. Somehow, my account went under standard user administration. I can't change this back. I tried a few different things without success. I tried to go through the cmd.exe using net user administrator / active: yes when logged in my profile. Did not work. Can not change via Control Panel (even though I used to, now I can't). I tried going through the local users and groups and well, can't find it. It is not listed under Computer Management (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management). Had to do a search for secpol.msc, because it is not come immediately. I tried to open that and got an error strange message that something could not load. Looking now it gives nothing. It comes to MY computer, I always had administrator rights. Could the fact that I have blocked Web sites on my profile through familysafety.microsoft.com have had an impact on it? What else can I do to get the admin restored to my user account? I'm NOT a geek, but I'm not meaning well enough, as long as they are clear (help of screenshots). Help please!

    Here you go:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
    6 plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

  • I can not change the type of standard user to the admin account.

    I had a very difficult time, adding new accounts to the system.  Now that I have, I can not change the type of standard user to the admin account.

    As you don't declare that you tried, I am unable to say where you went wrong. Here is a method to promote the accounts without going through the various GUI screens:
    1 restart in SafeMode with network.
    2. log on as an administrator.
    3. click on start.
    4. type the three letters cmd in the search box.

  • Cannot change my admin account

    Recently, I took my laptop to the team of geeks for some questions. The problems have been resolved and I was told that Windows 8 has been updated to the current version of mist. It comes to my laptop and I know very well that I was the administrator on this computer. I went to go delete an old user account using one of the family. I could very well remove it, but I noticed that there is an admin account. And now he says I am user of "standard". I tried to change my now 'standard' account to an admin and he won't let me. And the new admin account cannot be changed or deleted. It's just there and do anything for her. I was for sure the origin on the computer Admin account. But it seems that since my last update, it created another admin and just changed mine to the standard. Help, please. Thank you.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. When you say upgrade to the latest version? What is Windows 8.1?

    2. What is the name of the administrator account that you found?

    You will not be able to convert your administrator profile if you are using a standard account. That's why we need another administrator account to manage all other accounts. Try if you can connect to other administrator accounts and perform these tasks.

    I suggest you turn on the built in account administrator on Windows 8

    You must run the command from an elevated command prompt. To do that you must do the following:

    a. press on the Windows key for get in the Metro interface if you are not already there.

    b. type cmd and right click on the result of the command prompt to be displayed.

    c. open a list of options below. Select run as administrator it.

    d. accept invites UAC

    Enter the following command to activate the hidden administrator account:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    If you ever want to disable the account follow the same instructions, but run the following command instead:

    NET user administrator / active: No.

    Once you have activated the account, you will see that he listed in the user accounts Control Panel. Note that the account has not assigned a password to it, and that you should consider to set one to improve the security of the accounts.

    You can manage the accounts of current users and convert your administrator user profile.

    Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

  • Siri is disabled by the Parental control on macOS Sierra admin account

    I just installed macOS Sierra today on my 13 "Mac Book Pro (early 2011). I have only one user account that is an administrator account. Siri is not enabled on my machine. When I go to the Siri system preferences screen, it says that "Siri is disabled by Parental control. Hmmm, when I check the Parental control screen, it says "you logged in using an administrator account." You can only apply parental controls to accounts that are not administrator accounts. »

    What happens here?

    Same problem here. Updated for Sierra of El Capitan on MacBookPro 15 "(mid - 2014).

    Even if I toggle the checkbox on the Parental control > others > disable Siri & dictation I can't activate Siri, the checkox is always gray and the alert says "Siri is disabled by Parental control.

    Siri is enabled if I login as a burst, but I need it on my Admin account of course. Very annoying.

  • 'Creative cloud' is working on a new admin account but not not in old account admin

    Hey community,.

    As my "Adobe Creative Cloud" was no longer working (not able to connect) on my old admin account.

    Adobe told me to create a new admin on 'El Capitan' account.

    Working on the new creative cloud account.

    (Adobe told me that there is a configuration problem on the old account)

    I would like to know

    • How can I detect what's the difference in configuration between the two account?
      or
    • How can I migrate all the settings and my old account to the new facilities?

    Purpose:
    I have a different software on my old account that I use for my work; VMware Fusion 8, different browsers, printer software, tools etc.)

    And also the settings...

    (I obviously don't want to use my old account for everything and have to switch to the new account just for the creative cloud...)

    Plan:

    I can either migrate all the settings from the old account to the new or detect the problem in configuration in my old account.

    Kind regards

    Adobe Creative Cloud ran after the new update of El Capitan.

    Any help... Please

    Hello

    seems really strange, especially after the installation of a pc wireless card software. I can give you a suggestion:

    EVERYTHING YOU DATA BACK UP AND REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

    I think that it is the only way, because when you describe you already tried almost every thing, then a recovery is inevitable. Copy/backup your data and put the new OS on the HARD drive.

    After that, make separate accounts (for example 3 accounts) and install the card netgear with the admin account. It should work.
    Would appreciate some comments.

  • Place the Parental control over the Admin account

    I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

    Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

    I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

    Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

    Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

    If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

    Step 1

    Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

    Step 2

    This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Step 3

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

    Select the user account

    and select

    Administrator (root)

    Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

    Select

     ▹ Reboot...

    in the menu bar.

    Step 4

    This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

     ▹ Disconnect...

    from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

    Step 5

    On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

    Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

    Allow the user to administer this computer

    You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

    Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

    Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.
