Thanks. When I installed Superduper a few weeks ago (under Sierra.
It does not seem to support APFS as of yet), it would not work until I
went into that same folder and deleted a certain file.

Hi,
The command is...
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Most sites say that it must be done in Single User mode, but I simply
use the Terminal from the Recovery partition, or start up from an
external source and cd myself to the Macs internal drive.
Later...

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.

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?
