Q: previous owner still in system
Hi everyone,
I had an SSD problem earlier which resulted in having to install a new SSD. as normal ppl do, i saved everything on an external HD. when i registered the new SSD i put my info and myself as admin, however, on the old system there was a different owner, and when everything was restored on my machine that data or info got into the new system as well, so in certain situations the old owner's admin 'privileges' still visible, and i think it's messing with my computer. anybody's got any idea how to delete every trace of the previous owner from my computer?
thanks in advance

When a HDD is erased/formatted, all data is deleted. The only way that you could have reinstalled traces of the prior owner is when you reinstalled 'the old system'. I must assume that when you originally got the MBP, you did not erase all prior data as the link that I posted indicates in step 6.
Ciao.
