  2. Type the following inside the Terminal app (black window): sudo spctl --master-disable
  3. Enter the Admin user's password.

    If the password fails, try the original Admin's password.
  4. Close the Terminal application

  5. Go to the Apple menu and choose System Preferences

  6. Click on Security & Privacy

  7. Verify Allow Apps downloaded from: Anywhere is visible and selected.
