Hi gisella273,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


Can you go to System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the user you want to change to standard, then uncheck "Allow user to administrator this computer"?

I already did that, but the other Admin appears in gray and it doesn't allow me to enter or uncheck anything. I also went through Login Options --> Join --> Open Directory Utility --> Directory Editor, but then it only gives me the option to delete the other Admin. I don't want to delete her (my daughter), I just want to change her from Admin to Standard.
