Hi Tim,
This sounds like something I should file away. Do you have the
Terminal command? Thanks much.

Hi,
Actually, it can normally just be done using Terminal from the Recovery
partition. At least I've done it that way in the past. The trick is to remove
a specific hidden file, thus telling your Mac that it is at the new
installation stage. When in the new installation mode, the Setup Assistant
will appear whereby you set up a new Admin user and you're good to go from
there. This normally works fine except in the cases where File Vault is
enabled. In that case, you're hooped.
Later...

Anders,
That would put the Mac into single user mode which is not accessible so I
just started over again.

Hi!
There is but you have to use the terminal.
I can’t for the life of me remember the command to do this.

Sounds like to me you might be in need for a reinstall. And I don't think that
there's a way out besides that.

High Sierra beta. Not sure what went wrong. I changed the name of the user folder.
After restarting, I found my user account is no longer an administrative account. I
cannot unlock Users & Groups so I cannot change my account status. I can change
my login password and log in but cannot unlock. What do I need to do?
