My machine wasn't working for a long time. When we got it fixed, all the old accounts were erased and only one user account is available and it is not designated as admin, what can I do?

Restarting Setup Assistant to create Admin user under Catalina Not sure this will work on High Sierra but nothing lost in attempting.
This worked for Monterey.
Good so you issue was fixed ?
Yes - The link above titled "Restarting Setup Assistant to create Admin user under Catalina" worked for Monterey as well.
there is no admin account on my Mac. Only one user account and that account is "Standard". How do I get admin controls without an admin account?
