[QUOTE="LazyLew, post: 1926821, member: 416920"] Thanks, but that raised another issue; this Macbook Pro has 4 USB-c inputs, and apparently I need a special connector-bit to get on to the wired network - I don't have this cable... I did find a Youtube video [MEDIA=youtube]Q7W9h-SCacg[/MEDIA] meanwhile, showing a procedure that got me into the system :) But now I'm not sure how to proceed, since in the top right of the screen I see [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)][B]Safe Boot [/B][/COLOR]in red. I see my son's login picture (who is the original owner) plus an icon for a guest login. I want to delete my son's profile, but as said in my starting post, I have no experience in Macs. So should I simply choose Reboot now to start up in normal operating mode? [S]How do I make my profile and delete my son's? I do have an Apple-ID btw, because of having an old iPad.[/S] EDIT: I managed to make myself admin because I knew my son's password. Rebooted and now enjoying going through the configuration a bit :) [/QUOTE]
