Hi! I tried setting up a new user account in macOS Sierra yesterday, but the parental control settings didn't stick. I deleted the user account a couple of times and tried to add it again, but no luck.
So I deleted the account again, and decided to try everything again after doing a software update.
Last night, I went from 10.12.5 to 10.13, so I'm currently on macOS High Sierra.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to add any user accounts anymore at all!
It creates a 'public folder' (if it's even called like that, my computer isn't set up in English) under 'groups' in system preferences... And I can't log in to the just-created account either.
I tried making a Standard account, an Administrator and a Managed with Parental Control one... No luck.
Did they change something when it comes to creating user accounts?
Meanwhile I'm also stuck with three 'public folders', and I can not delete them.
I select them (all three, but not at once), click the '-'-button and it asks me if I want to delete this. I select 'yes' and nothing happens...
I tried all of this on an administrator account (and on a standard account, but logged in with the admin password when I unlocked the little lock thingy in the left corner).
This is pretty much what it looks like: https://s26.postimg.org/elda7mq89/Schermafbeelding_2017-09-27_om_09.04.48.png
(I know the settings are locked in this screenshot, but they weren't when I tried all of this)
There's my account (Admin), the TV account (Standard) and I'm trying to add another one with parental controls (as you can see, I made three attempts in creating this account).
A home folder is added in the Users folder, yet I can not log in from the login screen (when I fill in the username, it shakes as if the password is wrong, even though there is no password).
I don't know if this is important, but I'm not trying this on the MacBook I use everyday, but on a fairly old MacBook Pro (Late 2011, 13") that I used to use years ago.
It has 4 GB of ram, a 2,4 GHz Intel Dual Core i5 and an SSD hard disk.
Could somebody help me, please? Thank you guys so much in advance!
