administrator user apear as standard

Here are several ways to fix the problem.

How to Create a New User Account if You Cannot Access Your Admin Account

Reboot the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys to start into Single-user Mode.

You will boot to a black screen with scrolling white text, release the keys and wait for it finish.

Enter the following lines at the command prompt pressing RETURN after each:

mount -uw /

rm /var/db/.applesetupdone

reboot

After you reboot the computer you will be taken to the Setup Assistant. When you get to the point where you are asked to setup your new user account, create a new admin account. Be sure to name this user account something different than the admin user account that already exists on the system. When you finish the Setup Assistant, it will automatically log you into the new account.

You can transfer your files from the old account to the new one. See: Transferring files from one User Account to another. Once you have moved all your files into your new account, you can delete the old account using Accounts or Users & Groups preferences.

Restore Admin Privileges

This procedure should restore admin privileges to an account that has lost those privileges. This procedure is only needed if you don’t have another account that has admin privileges.

Section One

Boot Using Command+R keys:

1. Restart the computer.

2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the

"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.

3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

If you use FileVault 2 then open Disk Utility, select the protected volume and click on the Unlock button in the toolbar. You will be asked for your admin password. Quit Disk Utility.

Open Terminal from the Utilities menu in the main menubar. At the prompt enter the following command:

resetpassword

Press RETURN.

A window opens to Reset Password. Select your startup volume. From the menu labeled Select the user account select System Administrator (root). Follow the prompts for setting a password. Be sure you write down the new password so you don’t forget it.

Now, from the menubar select the Restart… option.

Section Two

If you are using FileVault then log in as usual, then select Log Out… From the menubar or press SHIFT-COMMAND-Q. Don’t RESTART. You will be returned to the Login screen.

At the login screen click Other… Enter root in the Name field. Enter the password you set up from Section One in the Password field. This should have you logged in as the “root” user. While in “root” be careful what you type or enter. Carefully follow these instructions.

Open Users & Groups preferences panel. Select your normal administrator account from the list of users and check the box labeled, Allow user to administer this computer. You will be prompted to restart. After the login window appears log in as yourself—not as root.

Your administrator status should now be restored.

Section Three

You should disable the root user if you enabled it. Follow the instructions in OS X Mountain Lion- Enable and disable the root user under the heading, “Disable the root user.” You will be asked to authenticate in Directory Utility as root with the password you set in the first section. The linked article also works in Mountain Lion and Yosemite.

Please take these steps to restore administrator privileges to your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you've confirmed that no working administrator account exists on the system.

If you don't already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need guidance. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong—which is always possible.

Step 1

Start up in Recovery mode. The OS X Utilities screen will appear.

Step 2

Take this step only if you use FileVault 2. Launch Disk Utility, then select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another drive icon. Select Unlock from the File menu and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.

Step 3

Select

Utilities ▹ Terminal

from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

resetp

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

resetpassword

Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Select your startup volume if not already selected. Pull down the menu labeled

Select the user account

and select

System Administrator (root)

Follow the prompts to set a password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9. I suggest you write down the password. If you don't write it down and forget it, you'll have to start over from Step 1.

Select

 ▹ Restart...

from the menu bar.

Step 4

This step, like Step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Log in as usual, then select

 ▹ Log Out...

from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-Q. Don't restart. You'll be returned to the login screen.

Step 5

At the login screen, click Other... Enter "root" (without the quotes) in the Name field, and enter the password you set in Step 3 in the Password field. You should now be logged in as root. This is a potentially dangerous condition. Do nothing while logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't deviate from the plan.

Open the Users & Groups preference pane. Select your usual administrator account in the list of users and check the box marked

Allow user to administer this computer

You'll be prompted to restart. Do that and log in as yourself—not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Disable the root user." You must authenticate in Directory Utility as "root" with the password you set in Step 3. Authenticating as another administrator won't work.
