The Setup Assistant is always present on your computer, but only loads once because when it is finished it creates a small file called ".AppleSetupDone" in a hidden folder on the system. ![]() ![]() This assistant is generally only used once when you install OS X, where it shows a basic interface while running with root privileges to set some core system features, including the first administrator account. This occurs quite rarely, but if it does happen, one quick but well-known and convenient trick for recovering administrative status on a system is to activate Apple's OS X setup assistant again. However, there may be times, when after an OS upgrade or other major system configuration change, that the administrator privileges of an account might get stripped, leaving you with no way to change a number of system settings. All Mac systems should by default have at least one administrator account for installing programs and otherwise changing the system configuration and settings.
