Having issues possibly i now have an osx that is mixed up and a combination or home folders and user folders not making sense. I never faced these issues after 20 years on macs.
basically, i have repeating folders in both os x and time machine. and time machine or migration assistant are not letting me do anything without "install os again then migrate". I might do that but am looking at other options first and the time machine backups seem to have related issues. I am kind of stuck but will have to keep working on it.
I did have some really weird login issues 2 days ago where admin user "27" all the sudden could log in on lock screen with no pass. So yeah, I noticed I was able to login via lockscreen without password (something I never allow). When I tried to change my pass it would not accept the old one. I had to boot into recovery > terminal > resetpassword to get new pass. now like expected and how it should be, i have to enter pass at login once agian - yet now have repeating folder issue and somehow osx thinks there are 27 and 27 (2) yet 27 is now nowhere to be found. This could be related. Also, was i hacked? no idea.
