No user to login in MacOS High Sierra

I installed macOS High Sierra updating to APFS and everything was working correctly. After a couple of days I shut down and went off. I just came back and when I boot there are no users to login as usual, I get a Name and Password fields.

Of course my user is not working and it is not the usual login where your user is the one you see and just type your password.

So I have a Name and Password fields that I can’t fill with anything, so I can’t login to my user.

In recovery mode I ran First Aid and I get:

The volume /dev/rdisk3s1 could not be verified completely.
File system check exit code is 8.
Restoring the original state found as mounted.
File system verify or repair failed.
Operation failed...

Anyone with the same problem? Any advice or solution for this?


Solution 1:

Had the same problem and it is a simple fix.

  1. restart your computer
  2. when it "chimes" hold down "command" and "R" until a menu pops up.
  3. Go to "Utilities" at the top of the page menu bar
  4. Go to "terminal"
  5. In the terminal type "resetpassword"
  6. Follow the instructions. You may need you Apple ID. My Administrator account does not have an Apple ID, so I just reset the Administrator password without needing an Apple ID.

If you are not able to sign in with other accounts on your computer, go to your administrator account and make sure to uncheck Enable parental controls for those accounts in under System Preferences - Users and Groups. Then the other accounts should work fine.
