Hey!
I've tried to solve the problem presented in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8058186
And I'm know trying to reverse this command line:
sudo dscl . mcxset /Users/USERNAME com.apple.Safari HomePage always -string "ADDRESS"
I'm stuck into reversing the always options because now my Safari HomePage is blocked
Cheers!

As federico87 said in this thread:Homepage of safari is locked and unable to change it
Go to system preferences / profile and delete the profile "set safari homepage..." using the - (minus) sign down the window. Then you can change the homepage!
It works!!

Hey! thank you for your answer!
I tried what you said but seems it keeps locked now with another webpage (I think by the hijacked I suffered yesterday) which I have already erased from my computer and even chrome.
with the command presented at the question I can change the Homepage but when I use the commad you presented it seem it put searchpage.com back...
There were not parental controls in the first one...
In the new Administrator Account Safari works fine. I grabbed all the Library-Safari-related stuff and copied into the principal user. The problem persists though...
Niel, if you're still around, also want to reverse this command.
sudo dscl . mcxsetdelete /Users/USERName com.apple.Safari HomePage always -string "ADDRESS" doesn't restore the original. It does remove what was previously greyed out for Home Page in Safari> Prefs>General, but leaves "http://address/ which can't be removed. And "Set to Current Page" remains greyed out.
No parental controls set.
Also no Sys Prefs>Profile tab, either in 10.11 or 10.12

Try using:
sudo dscl . mcxdelete /Users/USERNAME com.apple.Safari HomePage

Remove the ‘homepage’ from it and try again.

hey!
keeps locked :/
Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, create a new administrator account, log in with it, and then remove all parental controls from the first one.
