Editing How to Add New Users in Mac OS X



To add a new user account in Mac OS X, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of the screen and select "System Preferences."

2. In the System Preferences window, click on the "Users & Groups" icon.

3. If the lock icon in the bottom left corner is locked, click on it and enter your administrator username and password to unlock it.

4. Click on the "+" button located in the lower-left corner of the Users & Groups window.

5. In the new user dialog that appears, enter the full name of the new user, the account name (short name), and a password. You can also enter a hint to help remember the password if needed.
