Hello everyone
I'm on a mid 2011 iMac running Sierra
My password works to login from waking up, but if asked for password to make changes or install an app it doesn't recognise it, very frustrating...any clues? cheers
Ok, You can create a new administrator account by restarting the Setup Assistant:
Be very careful to notice the spaces in those Terminal Commands.
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

In System Preferences>Users & Groups, what account type is listed under your name on the left?
Any luck yet?
ah yes forgot to mention that, it says "managed" it should be admin, there is another account too which is "admin" but I don't remember the password for that account.
Password works for login but not for installs, changes etc
