I stupidly changed my name under System Preferences/Users and Groups/advanced options....now whenever I need to enter my admin info, the username and password fields are blank and nothing I enter works.

I dont have another Admin account setup on my laptop.

Does anyone have any ideas how to correct this, or setup a new user as an Administrator?


I have tried to reinstall the OS, but it locks up at 2 mins remaining each time....I dont have a time machine backup to restore too....I feel clueless.

NOT sure what I did, but I fixed it.
