How to Add Administrator Accounts to Your Mac

When you first installed the Mac OS, an administrator account was created. Each Mac only needs one administrator account, but it might be a good idea to allow one or two other individuals to have administrative privileges. After all, you probably didn’t intend to be your family’s 24/7 IT department.

Administrator accounts have the same basic capabilities as esktop, backgrounds, and preferences, as well as their own Safari bookmarks, iChat or Messages accounts and buddies, and Address Book/Contacts.

In addition, an administrator account has elevated privilege levels that allow the user to make many changes to the way the Mac operates. Administrators can change system preferences that and feels, install software, and perform many special tasks that standard user accounts aren’t allowed to perform.

Setting up administrator user accounts is a straightforward process. (You can also promote a standard user account to an administrator user account; more about that later.) You will need to be logged in as the administrator in order to create or edit user accounts. The administrator account is the account you created when you first set up your Mac. Go ahead and log in with the administrator account, and we’ll get started.

Enter a nickname or shorter version of the name in the 'Short Name' or 'Account Name' field. We would enter ‘tom.’ Short names shouldn’t include spaces or special characters, and by convention, use only lower case letters. Your Mac will suggest a short name; you can accept the suggestion or enter the short name of your choice.

Enter a password for this account in the ‘Password’ field. You can create your own password, or click the key icon next to the ‘Password’ field and the Password Assistant will help you generate a password.

Enter the password a second time in the ‘Verify’ field.


Enter a descriptive hint about the password in the ‘Password Hint’ field. This should be something that will jog your memory if you forget your password. Do not enter the actual password.


Click the ‘Create Account’ or ‘Create User’ button.


The new administrator user account will be created. A new Home folder will be created, using the account’s short name and a randomly chosen icon to represent the user. You can change the user icon at any time by clicking the icon and selecting a new one from the dropdown list of images.

Repeat the above process for each standard user account you want to promote to an administrator. When you’re finished, click the lock icon in the bottom left corner of the Accounts preferences pane, to prevent anyone else from making changes.

Now that you have additional administrators, you can put them to work while you take a well-deserved nap.

Forgotten Administrator Password?


If you have forgotten the administrator accounts password, it can be reset. If you have forgotten the administrator account password.


Spare User Account


Another use for an administrator account is to help with diagnosing issues with your Mac. Having an administrator account in pristine condition can help rule out problems caused by corrupt files in a user's account.
