Hello All,

If i use single user mode to create a new admin account, will it remove the old admin account? After I create this account and remove parental controls for my user account, will I be able to remove the new account?

(What I'm doing is perfectly within bounds of permission by the way)
[doublepost=1551877100][/doublepost]Alternatively, I see through system profiler that "Managed Client" is active.
Where are the "Managed Client" plist files in the finder?
 
You should be able to manage parental controls from any admin account, no need to go CLI. And no, admin accounts can co-exist, if that's what you mean.

Managed Accounts are typically setup by an organization, to....well, manage accounts.

Parental controls differ a bit by OS, so it would be good to know what OS you are using.
