MacBook users sometimes forget their login credentials if they haven't used their computer for a long time. If you are one of those who cannot log in because of a forgotten password, you will need to reset the password.
To reset your password follow these steps:
Step 1: Restart.
Step 2: Touch and hold Command - R. simultaneously.
( This step is very important when the Restart is complete, the machine will restart, at the startup of the machine, press them ).
Step 3: Utilities> Terminal.
Step 4: Enter "resetpassword"> Enter> Delete command.
Step 5: Connect wifi> Next.
Step 6: Select the login account> Enter the iCloud password (if any)> Next.
Step 7: Confirm Apple Information (if using Apple's 2 layer protection)> Continue.
Step 8: Enter Apple Code> Continue.
Step 9: Change your password.
- New Password: Enter the new password.
- Verify Password: Confirm password.
- Password Hint: Something that lets you remember your password.
Good luck.
