Might have accidentally change admin user to standard user

Solution 1:

To create a new admin user, you need to reboot into Single User mode once:

  • Boot to single user mode (⌘-S while powering on)
  • Run /sbin/fsck -fy
  • Run /sbin/mount -uw /
  • Run rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
  • Run reboot

After the reboot, the Setup Assistant should get displayed again (as for a new Mac) and prompt you to create a new user. This user will automatically have admin rights.
