Restoring Lost Administrator I have a 2021 Macbook Pro that is currently running Sonoma 14.1.1. I am the only user on the computer and recently tried changing the name of my user account. When I changed the name, my user account changed from an 'administrator' to 'standard'. I am now without an admin account on my computer and cannot change anything. Is there a way to restore administrative privileges?
