I've done something I probably shouldn't have done on my system, and now I've removed all Administrator rights for my users.

Now, I've seen several guides around for this, but not one for my exact problem.

When logged in on my standard account and choosing System Preferences and Accounts, I get the list of the available accounts.

When clicking on the lock in the bottom left corner, I log in as the root user/system.

Now I can mark "Allow user to administer this computer" for the user, which have helped everybody else in the guides I've found around. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for me. When clicking/checking the field, it promts that I need to restart the machine before the changes takes effect - but meanwhile, it removes the "check" in the field, making the restart useless (yes, I've tried).

Do anybody have a clue?
