Login screen only shows guest user account, but not my admin account Hello. This morning I was having some startup problems with my 2017 27" 5K iMac running Mojave 10.14.3. I think some of the file permissions may have gotten messed up somehow. I ran Disk Utility, but it did not report any problems. After that, I shut down the machine, held down the option key, and restarted it in recovery mode. I chose to reinstall Mojave 10.14.3. However, after the re-installation of Mojave completed, when I restart my machine, it is only showing the Guest User account, and asking for a password. I have no idea what that password might be. It is my understanding that the Guest User account doesn't even require a password to log in. I shut down my machine, and then restarted it using my CCC backup drive. The reason why I did this was because I wanted to see if my actual admin account, home library and user files are still on the machine's internal hard drive. They are. Everything is still there. I was concerned that maybe the re-installation of Mojave may have erased everything. But, as I said, that was not the case. So I have no idea why my machine is only showing the Guest User account, and asking me for a password. How do I fix this so that the machine automatically boots into my regular admin account like before? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this issue.

MacBook Stuck on guest user login My kid messed with my computer. So I shut it down. Now it takes me straight to guest user. I don’t know the password! Also tried other things but there’s no apple symbol. There’s literally nothing else to click on! I tried restarting and clicking the command R...nothing! I’m stuck! 😥
