I’m new to MacOS world.

By accident I deleted the admin partition (Directory). Every time when I want to install a programme, the system ask me for the admin login. I enter the login but it is not accepted.

I tried yesterday to reinstall a new OS via recovery to get everything new. The reinstallation was successful (it took more than 2 hours ), but as started the system I found that all my data is still there and I still have the same admin login problem and the same username.

I have tried resetpassword via Recovery but I get a window which says there is user account available

my question is:

How can i fix this problem quickly?

Any advice will be apreciated

    There's no "admin" partition; are you referring to a particular folder? The quickest and easiest way to solve this is to reinstall just as you did before, but prior to doing so, wipe the drive using Disk Utilities (top menu bar of the installer)
