I deleted the "hidden" private folder on my mac, but that still on trash.

Now the big problems are:

- when I try to open Terminal to move the folder from the trash to my hard disk, appears a message that says:
the administrator doesn't specified your shell with a legal value.

- I can't change the date and time;

- well almost nothing.

Do you have any suggestions that might solve the problem?


What should I do? Please help me 🙁


Thank you in advance.
 
Oh Noes

Ummmm, lets see

If you've got a bakup try reverting to that, it should fix it
If not, try creating a new account that has Administrator Privileges and see if that works.

If not then do a fresh install but BE SURE to BACKUP all of your important and any files you want.

I'm doing backups now... I deleted the private folder through Finder :S

I'm a recent mac user, can you explain me how can I create a new admin account if I don't have almost any permissions?
