OS X: Change sharing-only account to 'normal' account Somehow, OS X changed my main user account to sharing-only. This means that all data in the user folder is still existent on the disk, I can't login to that user. Is there a way to revert a sharing-only user to a normal account.
Open the Users panel in Preferences
Unlock the panel (if necessary)
Right-click on your changed account, select "Advanced Options..."
Reassign a login shell and a home directory to the user if necessary
Click on your changed account
Enable Administrator option
Wait for the user type changing to Admin in the user list
Disable Administrator option again
