System admin appearing on lock screen after stand by

Hi all

I installed High Sierra in a clean system. After I restored only the user data from time machine for me and my wife.

When my wife is logged on and she left the MacBook Pro unattended for sometime, when she tries to wake it up, instead of her user it comes up with a system administrator profile. She has to ask to switch user to be able to access her user. It only happens to her not my user.

This is not a normal behaviour. As users, that I can at least see, there's she, me and guest which is disabled.

How can I fix it ?

Thanks

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

Same problem here with 2017 MBP 13" with touch bar, file vault not enabled. Please fix Apple, this is super annoying!

Had the same problem since 13.3.2. I have just updated to 13.3.3 and it seems to be fixed!

Just updated to 13.3.3 too and so far problem has not happened.

I have upgraded to 13.3.3 and this is still an issue on my Macbook Pro

Scratch that. Problem still present under 13.3.3.

Tried exactly what you said and afraid I still have the issue. Thanks for trying though.

Unfortunately didn't work for me either

I did this and it actually fixed the problem...for a couple of weeks. Now it's back, and just as annoying as ever.

My second user (wife) is not an admin so this didn't fix the problem for me (if I'm understanding your suggestion - revoke the second user's admin status, reboot, reinstate admin status).
