    Bug: Adding Printer / Administrator vs Standard user question

    Adding a printer is a security question on my opinion. This said, on my opinion it should require and administrator account to add a new printer. The Standard user without the rights to administer the puter should not be allowed. That's my opinion. I do expect a fully functional OS X 10.14.7...

    User disabled after shutdown for lack of energy

    Forgot administrator username/password

    Hello all, I am able to login to my MacBook Pro but the issues arise when I have to make any changes to the Mac and the system preferences login arises. Since I have only one administrator account I don't know what to do to fix it. It just won't let me unlock. Do I have to do a system reboot...

    Is letting people know my admin name dangerous?

    This might sound weird, but hearing it is safe to always use User Account, while I've been using Administrator account, reminded me how I have posted screenshots before in forums regarding questions about my Mac and few of them had my Admin Username on it due to Mac asking password - nothing...
