How to Access a Macbook Pro When the Password Has Been Changed?

Accessing a Macbook Pro When the Password Has Been Changed

If you find yourself locked out of your Macbook Pro because the password has been changed, don't worry - there are a few steps you can take to regain access to your device.

1. Try the Old Password

It's possible that the password change was a mistake or that you simply forgot your new password. Try entering your old password just in case it still works.

2. Use Another Admin AccountIf you have another admin account set up on your Macbook Pro, you can use that account to reset the password for your main account. Log in to the other admin account and navigate to System Preferences > Users & Groups. Select your main account and click on the 'Reset Password' button.

3. Reset the Password Using Recovery Mode

If you don't have another admin account, you can reset your main account password using Recovery Mode. Restart your Macbook Pro and hold down Command + R until the Apple logo appears. From the Utilities menu, select Terminal and enter the command 'resetpassword' to reset the password for your main account.

By following these steps, you should be able to regain access to your Macbook Pro even if the password has been changed.
