Hey guys so heres the thing.. I wanted to change my home name on my iMac, had great difficulty and followed a tutorial online and things went horribly awry. while logged in as Joshua (admin) i went to system pref --- login options --- network account server --- join---edit -- enable root--- logged out and then in as root -- went to finder --- devices -- iMac --- macintosh HD --- users -- changed the folder name to Josh --- logged out thinking everything was fine-- logged back in as Joshua and it was as if it was a new user all my files were gone, apps are still there. files are still on computer if i look in spotlight but they're under the user Josh which isn't listed under users in system pref, and i cannot log into it. any ideas?
much appreciation,
Josh
