How to recover a forgotten Mac password

0 views

Restart your Mac and hold Command+R until the Apple logo appears. From the menu bar, select Utilities > Terminal. Type "resetpassword" and press Enter. Select your user account and enter a new password. If FileVault is on, you need your recovery key or Apple ID. If you use an Apple ID, you can reset the password at the login screen by clicking the question mark icon and following the prompts.
