2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
◦ mount -uw /

@millerean Dude calm down... There is no way to delete an admin account unless u have an admin account urself. Yes there is a console command for that but you will have to be admin to execute it. If you want to know what is that command then GOOGLE IT. Also if you don't have enough mem to do that get urself a real computer (Windows, maybe?).
