Mac OS X
Q: User account missing - can only log in as guest
Hi
major problem with my mabook pro 2011 running EL Capitan
All was well yesterday but today, I woke it up from sleep and plugged in a usb hard disk. the mac rebooted of its own accord and my user account is no longer present, just a guest account. I've run the built in disk utility from inside the guest and account and from the recovery boot screen - in both cases it when through the processes but gave no serious errors. In the guest account I can't see any other user accounts but I cant create a new user account because it asks for admin name / password and my old details aren't recognised? Any ideas on what I should do next?
