AppleSetupDone Setup Assistant stops after Wifi Selection

[lvpre]

I'm trying to run AppleSetupDone to create a new admin account. The rm "Volumes/Macintosh HD/var/db/.AppleSetupDone" works fine. I reboot and it takes me to the new account screen,

I then select my language, Country, and then it brings me to the Wifi selection screen.
When I select my wifi or hit continue to bypass it, the setup process stops and brings me to the login screen.

I'm running Monterey on a M1 2020 MacBook Air.
I only have access as a standard user and I'm trying to add an admin account so that I can at least install something.

Any ideas why the setup is crashing after selecting Wifi settings?

Why do you only have access as a standard user? Why don't you ask the admin user to give you admin rights?

Standard users cannot create Admin users unless you have an Admin password. It is part of the system security.

But it shouldn't matter if I go through recovery though. Just wondering why it boots me after the Wifi Selection screen.

Security is security, and it applies everywhere. If you are a Standard user, you cannot create an Admin account. Period.

Get an admin to do what you need done.

Are you the owner of the Mac? No? Then you have no business trying to sneak your way into getting a level of access you have no rights to have.

School mac...but I would like to install software on it. It worked on my old macbook, but not this one.

The machine is the property of your school, not yours. They have decided that users of their Macs are only assigned a standard user account.
