Ever done clean installs? I installed HS soon after its release.
Google will bring up this issue in the first couple months after release.
I wish I could confirm for a fact I either had the admin account
then or not. I do not now, just my normal user account. Simon, time for
you to show up!

Really! I have had two accounts on my MacOS X systems one regular and one admin
since before there was VoiceOver available. Certainly when I did my upgrades my
standard account stayed standard and my admin account stayed admin. In Sierra
and Earlier it was impossible to finish an install unless one of the accounts
was an admin account. I don’t believe one can install any programs in
/Applications unless you have an admin account. Well, perhaps Simon will have
an idea for you so just hang in there and wait for the sun to rise on NZ.

No I did not realize I had no admin account. Until now I had no need for it.
Evidently this was a common problem when HS was first released.

Is the current admin account not working on your system? If you lost the
password for the admin account on your computer you might be able to use
password recovery tools in the recovery partition, but I have never been very
successful with this.
Or do you need “super root” privileges to get around parts of the filesystem
that relocked to all software except the installer application?
Best Wishes,
Jonathan

Latest High Sierra. I need to create an admin account. I think this means
single user mod? Is there another way to do this?
