Mac OS: Can't unlock settings in control panel After updating my iMac to OSX Montery it seems that the system is corrupt. I can log in to the computer, but if I user the same password to unlock the settings in control panel, the password window shakes as if the password was wrong. I also tried to enter the password very slowly so that I don't make a mistake but it remains the same. It is also strange, that when the password window appears, that the user isn't filled in, as it is with my other macs.... Does anyone have a clue what to do, other than formatting the HDD?!?!?
