OS X: Change sharing-only account to 'normal' account
Somehow, OS X changed my main user account to sharing-only. This means that all data in the user folder is still existent on the disk, I can't login to that user. Is there a way to revert a sharing-only user to a normal account.
Solution 1:
- Open the Users panel in Preferences
- Unlock the panel (if necessary)
- Right-click on your changed account, select "Advanced Options..."
- Reassign a login shell and a home directory to the user if necessary
- Click on your changed account
- Enable Administrator option
- Wait for the user type changing to Admin in the user list
- Disable Administrator option again
