OSX 10.8.5 main admin account recovery?
Here's one for the Mac gurus, which so far I can't answer from the usual places.
(We seem to have given up on the dedicated Apple thread).
Partner has my old MacBook. She was a user when I had it. When I got a shiny new MacBook Pro she got the old one - clearly!
I'm thinking that what we probably did was make her account an admin account and deleted mine. Probably a duff decision. Anyway, she doesn't appear to have all the privileges that I have on my own machine. Specifically, we'd like to be able to see a folder in the Finder, Go, Option, library/application support which doesn't appear. We know the data is somewhere as it is available to the associated app.
I assume there must be a difference between a 'real' admin account and an account with admin privileges. Is there anyway to solve this without resetting everything? It would be convenient if we could, but it's not a show stopper.
