This is amazing! I struggled to access my admin account for years. I tried so many instructions in vain. I did not want to lose my documents, so I was just living with it. After watching this educative video, I solved the problem in less than 15mins. I am so grateful. Thank you!
Did you loose anything?
Man you're wonderful. Not only do you speak clearly and precisely af, but never skip some operations and explain everything. This is how a tutorial is supposed to be. Anyway, I've stepped across this problem as the others here but haven't done this trick yet. Let's see if it works without data loss...
This is by far the most helpful video out of all the ones I watched
Good Job my friend thanks a lot !!!
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!! Bought a MacBook from a guy and all of his old information was still present on the computer. All he did was sign out of the iCloud!
This video was damn helpful!! Many blessings your way! 💪🏾💪🏾
This was THE MOST helpful video/advice I have seen and I've been searching for DAYS... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Kelsey Oliphant lmao how is this helpful? I can’t even understand wtf he’s saying
Squee 710 - I hit pause, A LOT, and squinted my eyes a lot to copy his screen. It only solved 90% of my problem, though. As an new admin account, what do I do next?? I’m still locked out of where I wanted to be!! 😩
@@ebethd5976 well do command r instead of s and open termanial, then enter "resetpassword". you cant then reset all your passwords
@@squee7107 its a bot
This helped me sooo much...i accidentally hit the button and turned my admin account into a standard and was unable to make changes. I was able to go in as this new admin and change my profile type from standard back to admin. Big up yuhself ...yuh skills tuff!!!
bro, this was THE BEST intro song EVER!!!
thats a cap heard it like 200 times

PLS GOD BLESS THIS MAN! HE DESSERVES IT. TYSM YOU FIXED MY MACBOOK!!
God bless you man... This works perfectly on my school computer, and now I can download everything I need without having to get bothered by the teacher. +1 like!!
how recent of a version did this work on?
haha, i had to do the same thing because i left my school and they didnt take it off ahah
Hey guys, I updated to Big Sur. Now I am no longer the administrator of my mac!!! I am trying to follow Franky's tutorial, however, as soon as I press cmd + S the computer nothing happens. Any advice? what am I doing wrong?
perfect instructions, solved my issue totally. better than the other two videos I wasted over an hour on :-)
Awesome tutorial, i can do it and now i can install n delete applications and change setting with new user, thank you my bro 🥰🥰🥰
Now i am going to subscribed you 🥰
This method really works. I have not logged into my 10 year old mac in a while and this saved me. I did not lose any data and so eternally thankful for your help.
I lost all my files... help me
@@dimitriskatagas7348 your Mac was completely erased?
FYI .... Full stop = a period
I missed that because "full stop" has no meaning to me. I found out what he was saying was .AppleSetupDone
AppleSetupDone without a period in front does NOT work. So once I got that figured out, it worked without a hitch and now I'm king of my domain!
Thanks Frankey!
Thank you this just saved me a lot of time
And worked great was done with everything in about 10 mins😁
Thankyou, used this to create a new admin account and then reset an existing users password that was forgotten.
Thank you so much!! It has been 4 years since I have used my mac book and you helped. You need more subscribers because you deserve it.
It worked. Thanks bro
Did you have to sign into icloud when you reset it?
Thank you for an excellent video. You say at the beginning of the video that nothing will be lost. After following the steps, it is like a brand new computer out of the box. How do I restore all my files? Thank you Sir.
Quick, efficient and very neat. Worked like a charm. Best tutorial ever 👍
Apple should just employ this guy
THIS IS LITERALLY THE TOP VIDEO!!!!!! Like it’s been 1 year I haven’t came across a video that helped until this!
It doesn’t work.. operation not permitted and failed with 77 can someone help me please ??
Same thing
This worked for one of my Macs but I had another one that it didn't work for. I had to use the following instructions for my other. "It very simple.....
First you need to restart your computer and from there you boot up in Single User mode. Doing this will give you access the system to get Admin rights. Very important to include all spaces " /sbin/mount -uw /" . It should say something like it removed some files. now type " rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" . Finally type reboot"
THIS.
WORKS.
i genuinely didnt think this would work but it did. And this man deserves alot more subs.
I was locked out of admin priviledges because the person who gave me the mac didnt give me the admin password.
@@VidGva it wiped nothing
Tried 4 other solutions that didn't work. I think problem with others was the CAPITAL letters in the AppleSetupDone command. Thank you Frankie B you saved me much time!
So I tried to change my account name and lost the whole account, thank you a million times over for this clear, easy to follow video, it worked perfectly!
Could you help me out please? Guess my problem is similar to yours. I did thesame thing in the video and have crates a new admin but I still cannot make changes, download or delete an app on the standard user which is having all my files and data.
How do I reclaim my username and password on the standard user please?
@@charlesakanisi1279 same
Guys before watching the video read this comment, this method 100% works like it actually does
You are a Genius! It worked!!!!!! Bless you. You saved me!!!
THIS IS THE ONLY VID THAT WORKED FOR ME I DEF RECOMMEND!!
Hi, can I ask about how you do the first step? I'm afraid I'm doing the wrong click. The black screen thing is not appearing on my mac. Plss respond. I desperately need help. All of my important files are there and I need my mac for work. 😢😢
when i tried this, that black screen didn't come up. the user icons came up. I did it over and over, and over, I made sure to do it at the same time, or right after, or before, I tried dozens of different things, I watched many videos showing the same reset, and I am doing what they say exactly, and what you said exactly, but still, all I get is a flash for a second of the black screen with white text then goes to the regular user screen. i am holding it down long enough and not letting go.
It's a macbook air 2012, A1466.
Any advice?
Same device and same issue. Did you find a video that helped you with this issue, command s takes me to a login screen and I tried over and over with this MacBook Air
@sotomayor556 no video but this is what I tried: I ended up going to another laptop to log in with the iCloud account login and then opened keychain and copied down every single password ever used and since we reuse passwords, I figured I would try them to log in to the locked laptop - I was fortunate and one of them worked.
Once I was in, I went to settings to users and groups to add a second user profile as a back up, but I got error messages which I forgot exactly what they were now (I have a photo of it somewhere but can't find it now), and then tried other settings menus like the accessibility or other things to do with iCloud, and it was still giving me the error message.
I figured that was why the instructions weren't working, because there's some kind of corruption maybe. I googled the error message and followed additional instructions but still no luck, so I realized I will have to back up the laptop, wipe it and start over.
I couldn't use the settings menu to back it up at all, so I plugged in an external drive, and it wouldn't even recognize it. Tried different tests, the drive was new, it was recognized on other machines, tried different cables, but still no go.
So I bought more iCloud storage (through another device logged into the same iCloud) went through the painful process of manually backing up every file and photo in small batches to the iCloud, and when confident I had it all and could pick it up on another machine, I wiped it and started over.
Had a hiccup with the wifi network password not being recognized, which was necessary for downloading the new OS after wiping. I got that finally figured out (another video helped with that particular issue and worked perfectly).
Then an amazing thing happened, it was able to download a new OS that was 3 or 4 OS's later. But previously, the unit had said that it couldn't do any more software updates and it was at the latest OS the hardware could handle at the time. But after wiping it, it was able to go from OS 13 to 17.
So that confirms my suspicion that there was some kind of corruption before I wiped it. (before that, I did try that "repair" procedure in start up mode but I don't think it helped, if I recall correctly. it may have fixed a couple things but not the major issue).
I hope that helps, let me know if you need me to find that picture or that second video. Let me know what ended up working for you, I am curious to learn.
@@hectorsotomayor556 command r and power for some laptops will do the trick
Thank you! That was such an efficient and helpful video! I just bought a used iMac and deleted the admin account accidentally. Thanks for helping me get it fixed.
Thank you Jamaicans do it best
Ive never had a mac and was playin around and lost admin. This video was super easy to follow. Thank you!
it didn’t work for me
Thank you 'Frankey B' - I mistakenly went and changed the name of an admin user and it changed to a standard account, whereupon I was locked out. I use your tutorial and 'Pow!!' success. Took a few goes as I'm sure I typed something in without a space... third time success I am now an Admin User and can have control of my new iMac. Thank you again Frankey.... take care :)
My god
U dont know what great help u have been
U have literally saved my life
I followed ur instructions and how everything is absolutely perfect
Thank u so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I got logged into the new admin account afterwards and thought all my data was gone 😂 I was stressed but I figured it out and logged into my old account, thank you so much!
hey so I was handed over my dad's MacBook and out of curiosity and everything I tried changing the name of the admin. Now the problem is when they ask me the admin name and password, neither new nor old names work. what should I do?
Having the same problem
Same problem
Follow the video and reset your computer back to its original setup and that will give you an Administrator account. *
@@frankeyb2854 my command screen is not at root but it says bash-3.2
I tried this with several other channels and could not get it to work but on the second try with this command it went thru despite that it kept giving me errors messages and all kinds of feedback, somehow it shut itself down after a long wait and then brought up this new account screen. Thanx so much. How do you get back your keychain? It had a window to select a new keychain but then it asked for my old keychain password which I do not have for this 2010 mac pro laptop.
THANK YOUUUU
I LOVE YOUUUU
YOU ARE MY SAVIOR
THIS MAN IS A HERO
big luv from me man✨
Thank you, my dumbass self forgot my MacBook password because I had changed it to a really hard one because my siblings kept on trying to login and for the whole of my school year I had to bring a I pad mini for my studies thank you, this saved my parents buying 2,000 MacBook.🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are an absolute genius 🙏🏾✨😭🌸💗
Still works. Used this to make new admin account on iMac7,1 with OS 10.5.8. Like the dude's accent.
perfect instructions, thank you
Thank you very much.. Last time same happened to me and i reinstalled the macos as i didn't know this thing.. Same thing happened to me today again and I was about to do the same, then I came up with this video .. Thanks a lot once more..
Amazing man! The best! I love youuuuu
Thanks so much! I've seen a ton of these videos and they never worked. That was because on each one it was missing something (a space or a slash). This one did and it helped me alot!
Thanks again :)
What did you do..when i press command +s then power button..it doesnt bring me to the screen where i can enter the information
@@jhoviegarban278 You have to press the command + s button before you press the power button and keep pressing those 2 down until you see the screen. That's what I did and it worked.
I did this but now I’m stuck on the apple loading screen
Same here.. How were gonna suppose to do?
Ever figure this out? Same for me
So you guys can’t log in to the Mac at all?
Ayy my boy lit w it. Worked on Mac OS X circa 2008 machine
Frankey'B you are my hero! Love to you mate :)
I watched 20 other vids on how to do this and none of them worked. Yours did! Thank you!
I love you for this 🥺 God bless you!
Thank you very much.It is worked.I just had a quote to sort this out for £49.Now I sort it by myself & saved money.The instruction is very easy to follow.Good job.👍🏼
my laptop is not going into the code mode
Make sure you’re holding down the cmd + S keys on your keyboard then press the pwr on button. In that order, Thanks.
@@frankeyb2854 i did that exactly and it just doesn't work and it just restarts normally its really frustratinggg
dust face for some people instead of holding S you hold R but for me it was S for you it could be R
Same thing is happening to me and when I finally set up a admin acc and restarted my laptop it made me a standard user again
For some reason my MacBook Air can't boot up terminal when I press command s
I LOVE THIS MANNN🙏🏽🙏🏽
Works! all other videos didn’t
I managed to gain back entry to my Mac
Thank you so much !!
Thank you so much. After so many hrs and videos, only yours work. I have admin user now, and i suck with computer and was able to fix this by following your instructions
2022 March form East Africa, Tanzania. This saved me too. Thank you Buddy. You are a real genius.
I’m stuck because it says I’m not permitted to do that?
My Mac asks me for login password before I even get to enter codes
Then when I power it on after the codes, I comes up with the login screen and not as a new Mac like you said
Please help me out, been trying for months
IT STILL WORKS EVEN APPLE SUPPORT COULDN'T HELP THANK YOU
You make it look like a walk in the park.

Thank you very much! After over an hour trying different methods this helped me get my MackBook backed up and reset!!! Thanks again!!!

Thank you so so much for saving my Mac! I was so desperate concerning my administrator account! Thank God I found u & ur video! Thank uuuu 🤍🥺
This is the only tutorial that works to me, so thank you so much!! ❤
After many months of searching and watching, I finally found ur video sir 🙏🏻 It works! Thanks!
Sir, does it really require reinstall macOS software?
After i followed the 2nd instructions, rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
then press return
There was an error message,
rm: /var/db/.AppleSetupDone: No such file or directory
Hi thanks for getting in touch, and no your data, and O/S will be safe. *
