Removed the account name completely from a non-admin user account. User no longer showing up in users&groups and I can no longer log into that account
Hi, I went into advanced options and removed the account name thinking I didn't need it and could just just log into the non-admin account without it.
The account has now disappeared from the Users&Groups list and disappeared when I log into the mac when I first turn the laptop on.
The non-admin user's folder is still in the 'users' folder and there is no 'deleted' in the folder name as the account wasn't deleted, I only removed the account name. I cannot access the users files as it says 'can't be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents'. In any case, I need the non admin user to be back in users&groups so I can log in as it has some very very important files. I still have access to the sole admin account on the mac, I run MacOS Big Sur version 11.1 Thanks a lot for looking into this
