Can't remove Privileges after reboot #66

Closed badummtss closed 1 year ago

badummtss commented 1 year ago

Hello together, I use the privileges.app a few months, after update to the newest version, I only have a standard user account (which is the normal the only Admin Account on the Machine). There isn't any way to toggle it to Admin anymore.

I haven't changed my password.

How can I get rid of the Standard Settings?

I troubleshoot it by myself. For everyone who has problems with the newest version follow the steps below:

/sbin/mount -uw /

remove the following file and reboot the the Machine:

rm -i /Volumes//private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone

After a reboot create the new Admin Account.

Unlock your Admin Account after installing the new HelperTool with the new Admin Account.

For the Developers: Please add something like a broken Glass Account or something.

For normal Users it's hard to understand why after an upgrade of the Privileges.app no Admin Account available.
