I accidentally deleted my admin account Hello, I accidentally deleted my admin account on my MacBook Pro and have not been able to do much. Starting up in single user mode with command + s then typing mount -uw / *enter* rm /var/db/.AppleSetupdone *enter* reboot does not work for me. After I set up the account I get an error saying that my account can not be named this. I press back but it will not let me change anything. I then restart my Mac and when I log into my main account I see that the account I had just made is there but is a standard. Is there any other way? Can you manually reset it to factory settings?

How you do it depends upon OS version on the Mac and the model Mac and you did not identify either.
