Administrator problem

I wanted to change the name of the administrator on my iMac (OS high Sierra) I went into users and groups, clicked on my administrator, right clicked and a box came up with the admin details. I changed the user name and clicked ok.

Now when I click on user accounts I click on the padlock the enter name and pass word is blank, I put in new name and usual password but it will to recognise me or password. Can anybody tell me how to restore my previous admin name and password.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)

Hi guys,


This problem has now been solved, I searched the community for a similar problem and found the answer, all admin rights are now back.
