I changed the admin user name. Prompted to restart. Then I see it has no admin privilege and I when I click the lock, there’s no user name. Enter Apple chat.

Tried some terminal stuff and was told to wipe and reinstall. When I do the internet install it said it can’t download important files.

Make a boot disk and that doesn’t work. Tells me I can’t boot to it because I have no admin. Now there’s no OS on it. At all.

Cant do time machine backup cause it was created on another Mac. Older version of Hs

So now I have to goto the Apple store?

WTF? Not even 6 hours old and I bet I end up with nothing cause my apple store doesn’t have one in stock to give me.

I just wanna do my clean install. Could the servers be down?

/end rant. I spent $3000. Smh.
