Hi, need help and am not a tech savvy gal. I use a new MacBook Pro but am trying to set up one of my kids with my late 2011 MacBook Pro. I cannot change anything or create anything without knowing the administrator's username and password but I do not see it under user and groups. I have the password for both the standard and the managed. When I click the lock to make changes, I am presented with a login for admin and password- HELP please :)

From the Terminal.app copy and paste:

dscacheutil -q group -a name admin

beside the users: root, you should see the admin name included in the output
