Admin password not working / How to set up as Admin
I have a MacBook Pro 15" purchased in 2018, running macOS High Sierra. I can log in with my user name and password but when I go to Users and Groups, that account is listed as a standard user and not assigned as an ADMIN. I click the lock to make a change and it asks for Admin User Name and Password. I enter the same info I did when I open up the machine and it will not take it - because it is a standard login, not an Admin login.
I've tried to goto Single Mode with command S on start up but the black screen appears then goes back to login screen and is not allowing me to stay in the black screen.
How can I 1) make my account an admin account or 2) remove ALL users and then add myself as an admin? Why is there no admin account set up?
