After upgrading to Yosemite all accounts disabled

After I upgrade to Yosemite I can login once or twice before I get the message "Your account has been disabled. Contact your system administrator for more information". This applies to ALL 3 account (2x administrator and one standard account which I use most of the time). I have tried to reset the passwords, repaired permissions, repaired user ACL (by restarting in re3covery mode) but nothing seems to work.

After restoring from a Time Machine backup several weeks old and ensuring everything worked (10.9.5) I undertook a second attempt and even managed to upgrade to 10.10.1. However, after repairing disk permissions I had the same problem and all my accounts are disabled.

What can I do?

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Normally you would get that alert after many failed attempts to enter the password. Are you getting it without the failures?

Hi Linc, thanks for your response.

And yes, I'm getting this without the many failed attempts. I tried to recover my setup once more today as follows:

Start-up in Recovery Mode, erase the internal SSD and install Yosemite
Create a master/admin account
restart and import user account from Time Machine Backup via Migration Assistant (no applications yet and no 'other files')
I logged on and off several times to see whether the 'disabled issue' would start again (previously it would start after 2 log-offs or so)
It didn't come back and I decided to 'gamble' and import my applications as well (as it would take me a couple of days to install everything again including serial numbers and preferences)
Everything went fine for a couple of hours including 4-5 logons and logoffs including some restarts without a problem ... until just 10 mins ago when it suddenly is the same.
The odd thing is ALL accounts are disabled at the same time. yesterday I could enter a guest account without password but my admin accounts weren't accepted. I was still logged in under this account when I tried to switch to another account which is now disabled. I could still get back via the login screen.
Will logoff and login again to see what happened.

This is extremely frustrating. I can get everything back to normal but after I install Yosemite I run into problems. The only thing I can think of is a weird combination of applications. No guarantee it won't come back.

Any help is much appreciated.

So you were only able to reproduce the problem after restoring your third-party software?

It looks like it. Apart from contacting Apple Support the only option I see (without further hints & tips) is to reinstall Yosemite, recover the user data from a Time Machine backup and re-install all my applications (and hope it doesn't break again).

If disabled accounts occur after many failed login attempts I wonder whether someone is trying to break into my Mac. I do have a firewall running and I should see suspicious outgoing network traffic via Little Snitch network monitoring.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.

2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.

There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.

3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.

You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.

In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.

You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.

Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.

4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:

☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.

☞ Paste into the window of another application.

☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.

The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.

5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.

6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.

7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.

8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.

Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.

9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter

exec bash

and press return. Then paste the script again.

10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.

If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.

11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line

[Process completed]

to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.

12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.

At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.

If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Is the above procedure also applicable if I can only start in recovery mode (when all my accounts are disabled)? (I may be in such a situation again).

It won't work in Recovery mode, but it will work in safe mode if you can boot that way. Hold down the shift key at the startup chime.

The system is so heavily modified by third-party software that, instead of trying to remove the modifications piecemeal, you should erase the startup volume, reinstall OS X, and then go through the initial setup process, restoring only user data and settings from a backup—not applications or other files. This course of action will be the easiest and most reliable.

Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.

Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used, so make a note of those before you begin.

When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.

Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.

After that, check the App Store for software updates.

If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.

I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "security" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or the behavior of built-in applications such as Safari. Be sure to avoid outright scams such as "CleanMyMac."

Any system modifications that you do choose to install must be kept up to date. None is required for normal operation.

Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.

Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

Hi Linc,

Thanks for all your time and effort to help me resolve this. I'm afraid I have to bite the bullet and re-install my 3rd party software. I hope the issue doesn't return.

Hi Linc -

I found your assistance to forappie regarding his case of all user accounts being disabled after an update to Yosemite. I have someone in the same boat - have you heard of this happening to others? Any other suggestions for possible resolution? Thanks very much for any insight!

I did not resolve the issue. I have started from scratch and installed Yosemite on a separate partition. I have started adding software and so far so good although it is still somewhat cumbersome to have an account on mavericks and one on Yosemite.

I tried to replicate the problem on a virtual machine (using Parallels). The problem did not occur again so far.

One thing we could do is comparing what 3rd party applications have been installed. I suspect t is a weird combination of software that is causing the issue.

Don't re-install CleanMyMac2, You do not need to use cleaning programs. They can destroy your computer operation as they may already have done.

Disaster struck again. All help appreciated.

I started to build a Yosemite image up from scratch and everything went fine for about a week. I even didn't copy my previous user preferences. However, tonight I ran into the same problems as before: all accounts become unaccessible at the same time! ("Your account has been disabled. Contact your system administrator for more information"). I'm now really getting desperate and very annoyed.

Fortunately I can still access the boot volume and I have made an inventory of the non-standard software I installed sofar. Would anyone have a clue which might cause the problem?
