MacOS – White Login Screen

macbook promacos

Whenever I boot up my mac, I get a white login page with only my user on it. This started after I entered single-user mode to give myself admin (this is a school laptop… shhhhh šŸ˜‰ )

I can boot into it fine and everything, and it behaves normally, but they won't be able to log into their I need to get this fixed so that they don't get mad at me for hacking my laptop.

Would re-installing OS X via Command+R be the best option? Thanks!

Enabling FileVault will change the color of the login screen. Check to make sure that you didn't enable FileVault at some point, and try disabling that to see if it resolves your issue.
