How do I delete an administrator on my Mac?

In order to delete an administrator account on Mac, you first need to log in as an administrator. Once you are logged in, you can then delete the account. If you are not logged in as an administrator, you will not be able to delete the account.

The admin user account on a Mac is a special account that has more privileges than other user accounts. It is used to manage the computer and install software. You cannot delete the admin user account, but you can disable it.

There may come a time when you need to delete all administrators on your Mac. Perhaps you are selling or giving away your Mac and want to remove any trace of your personal information. Or maybe you are just starting fresh with a new Mac and want to get rid of the old user accounts. No matter the reason, deleting all administrators is a fairly simple process.
First, open System Preferences and go to Users & Groups. Click the lock in the lower-left corner to unlock it and enter your administrator password. Next, select the admin account you want to delete and click the – button below the list of users. A warning will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the user account. Click Delete User to proceed.
If there are other user accounts on your Mac that you want to delete, repeat these steps for each one.

Removing an administrator account from a computer is a relatively simple process. First, open the Control Panel and locate the User Accounts icon. Click on it to open the window shown in Figure 1.
In the left-hand pane of the window, click on the link for Administrator accounts. In the right-hand pane, locate the account you want to remove and click on it. Then, in the bottom of the window, click on Remove Account.
When prompted to confirm that you want to remove the account, click on Remove again. The account will be removed and you will be returned to the User Accounts window.

Click the lock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the preferences. 3. Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users to add a new user. 4. Enter a name for the new user and select Standard from the Role popup menu. 5. Click Create User to add the new user to your system. 6. In the Accounts pane of System Preferences, select Login Options next from the list on the left side of the window. 7.

To do this, open the “Applications” folder, then open the “Utilities” folder. In the Utilities folder, open the “Terminal” application. In the Terminal window, type in the following command:
sudo dscl . list /Users
You will see a list of all of the users on your computer. The administrator’s name and password will be at the top of the list. Another way to find your administrator name and password is to use an application called “Keychain Access”. To open Keychain Access, open the “Applications” folder, then open the “Utilities” folder. In the Utilities folder, open the “Keychain Access” application.

If you have forgotten your Mac’s password, you can reset it to factory settings without entering the password. However, this will erase all of your data and settings. To do this, connect your Mac to a power source and hold down the Command-R keys while it starts up. Keep holding down these keys until you see the Apple logo. Then release them and wait for the Utilities window to appear. Select “Reinstall macOS” from the menu and follow the onscreen instructions.

After your Mac has been wiped, you’ll need to reinstall macOS. To do this, you’ll need a copy of the installer downloaded from the App Store. Open the App Store and search for “macOS.” The installer should appear as a result. Click on “Download” and follow the instructions to install macOS on your Mac.
