I am the only Account I rename my name and gone to a standard user so no admins and can’t makes changes

How do I sort this

Thx

there HAS to be an admin account (which would be your one user account); only an admin CAN make changes. if you can, change that standard to an admin, otherwise... someone more knowledgeable here can probably help.

what inspired you to do this?

Deffo no admin on there when I renamed it’s dropped to standard user
My OCD bugged me because my home name didn’t start with a capital letter

I did the same thing and had to call Apple support. They took me through the process to reset Admin and took almost 30 minutes. Sorry, I can't remember solution but was complicated. Suggest you call Apple support.

Will see if anyone has a idea and I just do a fresh install other wise. Hardly anything on it TBH so probably less than messing around for 30 mins

Thx thou

MacConfucious say:
User that changes his account name against his computer's wishes, may find himself "forgotten"!

In other words... don't attempt to do this again!

Yes it is a complicated solution. Went through this several months ago.
