Forgetting your MacBook password can be a frustrating experience, but there are steps you can take to reset it and regain access to your device.

Step 1: Use Apple ID

If you have associated your Apple ID with your MacBook, you can use it to reset your password. Simply enter the wrong password three times, and you will see an option to reset it using your Apple ID.

Step 2: Use Recovery Mode

If you haven't linked your Apple ID or the above method doesn't work, you can reset your password using Recovery Mode. Restart your MacBook, hold down Command + R, and choose 'Utilities' > 'Terminal'. Enter 'resetpassword' in the Terminal window and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 3: Use Another Admin Account

If you have another admin account on your MacBook, you can use it to reset the password of your main account. Log in to the admin account, go to 'System Preferences' > 'Users & Groups', select the locked account, and click 'Reset Password'.

By following these steps, you can reset your MacBook password and access your device again. Remember to create a strong and memorable password to avoid such situations in the future.
