If you have forgotten your Mac password, don't worry, there are several ways to reset it and regain access to your device. Here are some methods you can try:
- Reset Your Password with Apple ID
- Use Recovery Mode
- Reset Your Password with Another Admin Account
If you have linked your Apple ID to your Mac account, you can use it to reset your password. Simply click on 'Forgot password' at the login screen and follow the instructions.
Restart your Mac and hold down Command + R until the Apple logo appears. Select 'Utilities' and then 'Terminal'. Type 'resetpassword' in the terminal window and follow the prompts to reset your password.
If you have another admin account on the Mac, you can use it to reset the password for the account you are locked out of. Go to 'System Preferences' > 'Users & Groups' and select 'Change Password'.
Remember to create a password hint or use a password manager to avoid forgetting your password in the future.
