Forgot your Mac Admin Password? Here's How to Reset It

Forgetting your Mac admin password can be stressful, but there are ways to reset it and regain access to your system. If you find yourself in this situation, here's how you can reset your admin password on a Mac:

1. Use Apple ID: If you have 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 on-screen instructions.
2. Use Another Admin Account: If there is another admin account on the Mac, you can use it to reset the password for the affected account. Simply log in to the other admin account, go to System Preferences, Users & Groups, select the affected account, and click 'Reset Password.'
3. Use Recovery Mode: If you don't have access to another admin account, you can use the built-in Recovery Mode on Mac. Restart your Mac and hold down Command + R until the Apple logo appears. From there, you can choose 'Terminal' from the Utilities menu and enter a command to reset the admin password.

It's important to keep your admin password secure and also have a backup plan in case you forget it. Regularly updating your password and keeping it unique can help prevent these situations in the future.
