How to change UID

I really need to install a program (which is parallel that works similar to bootcamp), but it keeps saying that there is an non-rooted user account UID, so it can't be installed.

It recommended me how to solve this problem by giving me the code at terminal,

dscl . -list /Users UniqueID

This is the code that can be activated at the terminal. And here is my result.

So, I found out that the root section in the bottom is okay, and its UID should be 0. However, I found some hiddenadmin ~~~ things (5 sections) that its UID shouldn't be 0, but it is. So I want to fix this UID without any problems to my computer, and can you help me with this?

My final request : help me to change the UIDs from 0 to other numbers.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.3.2, my mac's version is 10.12.5

You could try the free Oracle VirtualBox. I could not get it to work from my usb connected dvd drive. You need to use ISO files instead. Download a linux iso file. Works like a charm. Set iso file to be read by vm dvd drive. There is a special procedure for converting Apple dmg files to ISO files that virtual box supports. See the internet 😉. I was able to find out how via a google search 👿. Of course, I've forgotten.

I've been using Parallels 10 for awhile. I downloaded paralles 12.

I suspect, you need to be running from an administrator id. I am.

this is parallel program, it works similar to bootcamp that allows me to run both window and mac.

it is much convenient than bootcamp.
