Suddenly I have no admin account on mac os.
All I did was to change the default account name from "user" to "myname"
When I try to make my standard account adminaccount I am prompted to enter admin username and password.
But what is the admin username and password now? I enter the old credentials but they dont work since I am not admin anymore.
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)
Oh well...
Follow the instructions on this page:

The idea is to remove a specific file.
The absence of that file tells your mac to do the initial setup, where it asks for the creation of a user account. This new account is always an administrator and you can then use it to restore the admin status of your original account.
By the way, keeping an extra administrator account is always a good idea.
On the other hand, changing the username of an account, well...
