Admin pass not working anymore

[bturgan]

Hi,

I was trying to change my username for login since apple changed it to ''apple'' after service but I guess I did sth wrong during that. I could not change my user name it is still apple my pass is working during login to my comp. but whenever i try to unlock the lock it is now asking my username and pass. although I am inputting my credentials, it is not working now.

I did some search and found out that maybe I can fix this from ''keychain access''? but I could not fix it.

does anyone know how to fix this? or I will format my Mac,

thank you,

I don't believe Apple would change your username, in fact I don't believe you can change a username, at least not easily.

More likely they created a new user called "Apple" for them to use while testing it, leaving your user unaltered.

Are you sure your original user isn't still there?

They didn't change your user name, they probably created an account. If your account is not on the Mac, maybe they reformatted the drive?
