Then you will have to enter your Wife's name as listed there and her password that she uses to login to the Mac.


She can also change your Standard User to an Admin user by following these steps:

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
  2. Click Users & Groups.
  3. Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
  4. Select a standard user or managed user in the list of users, then select “Allow user to administer this computer.”


She will need to do this after she logs into her account.
