How to restore file permissions after wrong chown
All the files whether system files or drive are owned by root:wheel. What should I do?
Currently my Mac only opens in recovery mode.
I use mac OS Catalina
I stuck with recovery terminal what is the default ownership for all these files
first I command this wrong command chown -R _www:_www / and destroyed my mac then i command on recovery terminal chown -R root / which made things worse i think
I reinstalled Mac now I am stuck here. The old password doesn't work. Does Mac have a default name and password or what
Solution 1:
The files and directories in /
are always owned by root/wheel, there is nothing which seems wrong on your screenshot.
