How to Reset a MacBook Air Admin Password?

Resetting Your MacBook Air Admin Password

If you've found yourself locked out of your MacBook Air because you've forgotten your admin password, don't worry - there are ways to reset it. Follow these steps to regain access to your device:

1. Use Apple ID: If you've linked your Apple ID to your user account, you can use it to reset your admin password. Simply click on 'Forgot password' at the login screen and follow the prompts.
2. Reset with Recovery Mode: If you haven't linked your Apple ID or if that method doesn't work, you can reset your password using Recovery Mode. Restart your MacBook Air, hold down Command + R until the Apple logo appears, choose 'Utilities' from the menu, then select 'Terminal'. Type 'resetpassword' and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Change Password in System Preferences: If you can log in to your MacBook Air with another admin account, you can go to 'System Preferences' > 'Users & Groups' > click on the lock icon to make changes > choose your admin account > click 'Reset Password'.

It's essential to keep your admin password secure and avoid forgetting it. Consider using a password manager to store and manage your passwords securely.
