rm “/Volumes/Macintosh HD/var/db/.applesetupdone.” this fails with “no such file or directory”.
some say file name is .AppleSetupDone – have tried both and each way failed.
there is no /db folder inside my /var folder.

Hi Jed,

I will try to find a solution for you and email you directly.

When I tried Reset the administrator account via Terminal in Normal Boot, it says I dont have permissions.

When trying to delete .AppleSetupDone in Single User Mode I cant find /Volume/Macintosh HD folder which would contain the sub-directories var/db where this .AppleSetupDone file is located.
