Ahh that looks good as I still have the last OS on an external
drive. Will keep you posted.

Try this:
• Restart your Mac into Recovery mode.
• Go up to the Menubar, to Utilities and down to Terminal.
• In Terminal enter "ls /var/db" then press return.
• Navigate through the resulting list and see if there is an item named
".AppleSetupDone".
• if there is, then our job is to remove it.
• Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
• Type ls /var/db again and check the resulting list.
• if that file is gone, life is good.
• Quit Terminal and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't allow you access to the .AppleSetupDone file, then I'd
use an external HD with MacOS installed to startup from. Then using the
same commands in Terminal, remove the .AppleSetupDone file from the
internal drive. Because you've started from an external source, you'll
need to first switch over to the internal drive by using the command "cd
/volumes/Macintosh\ HD. The back slash is required when there is a
space in the volume title as we don't want Terminal to read that space
for other purposes.
I haven't done this in a while, so can confirm the first method tomorrow
morning on a different machine than this one. The second method would
work for sure.
Later...
