Create the new admin account:

If you forgot the Password on your Mac, the best sollution is createing a new admin account:

  • Boot into Single User Mode by pressing ⌘ + S before you hear the Apple chime.
  • Mount the drive by typing /sbin/mount –uw / then enter.
  • Remove the Apple Setup Done file by typing rm -v /var/db/.AppleSetupDonethen enter.
  • Reboot by typing reboot then enter.
  • Complete the setup process, creating a new admin account.

This will force macOS to redo the initial first account creation, and doing so will not affect the current user profiles (they will remain intact) – so, if you prefer to make them as admin later, you can do that as well by logging in using the newly created admin account, then go to System Preferences, then Users & Groups, select the existing user, and tick “Allow user to administer this computer.”
