In addition to Admin and Main User Account, it is important that you create another User Account on your Mac to deal with the possibility of being locked out of the Main User Account.

Another reason for creating an additional User Account on Mac would be to allow children or others in the family to use the computer, without being able to make any unwanted changes.
