user and group account

Solution 1:

It might be easier to reassign admin rights to the standard user.

  • Log out of the standard user account
  • Log into the admin account
  • Open System Preferences -> Users & Groups
  • Select the standard user
  • Tick „user is allowed to administer the computer“
  • logout
  • Login with the standard user account (which now has admin rights)
  • optionally: remove the admin account
