I am convinced you used another admin account. And this was also most probably the way to get out of one account locked. | |
| Aug 14, 2020 at 6:27 | comment | added | Alina | Thank you for your reply! The user account was the same. I just changed the name of the home folder. However after a long research on the internet I have almost solved the problem by creating an admin account. So I could save my data! I’m so glad about that! At the apple support they told me that it would be impossible and I should just install everything new! It is really a shame. | |
