After getting the disk on my iMac replaced after a major fail, I restored from time machine, but now I get the title message when I tried to sign on.

The only thing I found online was the single user reboot and rm /var/db/.applesetupdone trick. On Monterey that directory doesn’t exist. I can create another admin but because of a widespread use of my uid I don’t really want to go that route. Looking for solutions.

It is there is Monterey...(?)
