If this helped you out, please leave a like as it will help KZbin show this to other people just like you! Thanks for watching!!! 😁

[@camilobusiness9702]

Nice content and you’re really good technician. Thanks for you time and for help us! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@foreverswish3238]

You are the goat for this man thank you so much you dont know how much you helped🫡🔥

[@ivonneramos5779]

I can’t do anything, how I’m I supposed to check if is connected to internet? It’s just showing my name and password which it keep telling is wrong. I have a MacBook Pro 14

[@perfection8638]

Same worked now

[@mattnorkaitis8793]

They are so dumb to make it this hard, but you saved my bacon, thanks.

[@orotify]

You’re an absolute life saver, my fiancé was typing in the correct password but for whatever reason it was saying it was incorrect. After many failed attempts from other videos this one hit the nail on the head and after following this simple guide we managed to reset her password and log back in! Now she can do her college homework again! Thank you times 100!!!

[@lapfix]

Glad I could help fren =)

[@natashaparkes8868]

Why doesn't it work for me? 😩

[@abinu646]

It doesn't work for me too

[@masodidit]

Yoooo I was having the exact same problem n now it worked 😂. My work is due tmrw

[@melodyvise5492]

Ditto for me! Totally worked, so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

[@KatieClark-t1p]

THIS VIDEO WORKS!! Saved me money and time thank you!! Newer Mac’s hold down finger authentication button (don’t need “command+R”), prompts you into recovery mode, 4 options come up ignore this. Top left find “utilities”, click “terminal”, a small coding box pops up, **make sure you’re connect to WiFi. Once connected, use coding box and type “resetpassword” hit enter, had to click “deactivate Mac”, then allowed me to click on my account id, and reset new password and hint 🎉 all my stuff still intact!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@newmandeepkaur2007]

Damm you r a lifesaver… I just bought my MacBook, set up the password and 15 minutes later tried to login and somehow it’s not accepting my password, tried everything and on top of it, no forget password option was displaying. Watch for lot of videos to fix it, but nothing work, got so frustrated. By the grace of God, came across ur video, simple to understand and it worked. Thank you so much🙏

[@lindcobbs4615]

I watched many videos and not one of them mentioned to type reset password as one word. It's so frustrating when you spend so much time on something to find out one simple thing made a world of difference that so many fell to point out. Thank so very much for your help. Now I can go back to sleep and no night mares.

[@PamLarcher]

I have searched for hours on how to log in when I forgot my password. Your video did it all in a matter of minutes and your instructions were excellent!! You are a lifesaver-thank you!!

[@fessid7682]

Ur voice has magical powers. Ive been putting my password in for HOURS & as soon as I played ur video I tried again & IT WORKED

[@ericgibbons6708]

Life Saver!!!!!!!! Gave my Mom a Macbook Pro Air, asked her for a password, she wrote it down and proceeded to misplace it. Took it to a shop, they wanted $200. Glad I found you on KZbin

[@ellieabel1543]

I was about to go to an Apple Store. I watched several videos but my issue wasn’t covered in any of them except this one. Thanks!

[@londonsway2633]

you are a life saver I am in punta cana right now and out of no where my password stopped working and I was typing in the correct password but you saved me I was able to reset password!! thank you!

[@Hazy_Dr3amer]

This was a life saver! As someone who doesn't know a lot about computers this was a nice and simple visual way for me to understand how to do the most basic thing lol. Very much appreciated.

[@WordGirlPhotoEdits]

OMG!! This worked. My friend had a stroke and cannot remember any passwords, but we were able to get him back into his desktop. You're such a lifesaver!! Thanks :)

[@lapfix]

Great to hear!

[@Realist-nuhhh]

@@lapfix to hear that he had a stroke or that he got the passwords…🤔😩

[@Kidslife-o9v]

I wouldn’t be able to keep using my computer again without this video! Thank you

[@TheWHOREfying]

I was so stressed out because I could not figure this out and I needed my laptop for work tomorrow.. thank you SO MUCH!

[@barbaramateus2012]

[@MO-vx3br]

Thank you thank you thank you! We tried everything on Apple support plus watched 3 other videos and none of them showed the same screens that your video did. Which was what our computer was doing. Followed your steps one by one and IT WORKED! Spent close to 5 hours trying to resign onto the computer until YOU fixed our problem. I am now a faithful subscriber! Thank you again!

[@lapfix]

Thank you for the kind words and for subscribing. It means a lot 😊

[@amyn1397]

THANK YOU!!!!!! THIS WORKSSSS!!! I have been struggling to reset my password for the last days and could not find anything helpful until I found this video

[@k_soares.]

Thank you very much!!!! I’ve tried everything before and nothing was solving my issue but following these steps I could reset my password!

[@whitney72]

[@jenniferoliviaah]

Ahh, thank you so much for this video! I was convinced I would need to completely wipe it or just never be able to use it again. It worked straight away so I’m back in and extremely happy. Hoping I don’t forget it again but at least I know what to do now if I do! 😂🤭

[@miriamsepulveda650]

Thank you very much for creating this video! You have been an angel today! After 1 year I was able to reset my password thanks to this video!

[@pricklymuffin3239]

[@thomaszasso7116]

thank you so much you saved me a lot of trouble. Could not find this solution anywhere else

[@tati_in_fashion]

I couldn’t get out from the secure boot and update OS, used the command ‘resetpassword’ and my laptop finally rebooted without any update 😊❤ thanx a bunch

[@afreenffathima7979]

For me my user does not come up when i type resetpassword...any idea what can be done for this issue... please help

[@mindofasocialthinker]

You're so freaking awesome. I truly appreciate this video. You saved me from a major headache 🤝🏾

[@itssleyaaxo5979]

OMG ACTUALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve been looking for hours and hours and this is just the right video, thank you so much!

[@guillaumeslama]

It worked like a charm! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

[@Rastin.]

I need help when I press on the Fingerprint Button and command R it just resets the laptop

[@ralphbenitez5173]

[@missangelaiskool]

[@willturner9849]

[@tracykrieger7404]

thank you so much, My son has been missing for 2 weeks and I picked up his laptop and cellphone from his roommate, and I was able to reset the password. thank you

[@philodonoghue3062]

From the multitude of Comments calling this KZbin video channel dude “a life saver” , “you saved my life “ etc, he should call his channel ‘The MacOS Lifesaver ‘

[@chrystiesmithtzorbust5491]

Thank you!!!!! I was concerned I would have to wipe my laptop after it started demanding a password for no reason one day and I couldn't remember my password. The Apple ID was my MILS old one, because I bought it from her and she couldn't remember it either. Just a few minutes and the problem was SOLVED!!

[@spidey851]

Great video! Great information ! Thanks a lot man!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@lill_miss_ash]

Usually it is tied to an icloud account or orignal set up icloud account. Has to be somewhere 🤔

[@ReneesTravelChannel]

[@doritomaster-xp9rk]

hey, i did everything in the vid but it just tell me to deactivate my mac. can you help me?

[@Tamara0817]

Great info thank you. I have an HP keyboard as my wireless Mac is not working. Are their commands - buttons I can use on that keyboard for this unlock method? Thx!

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

You’re the man. Ugh. That was making me so FN mad. I held the top right button on the brand new air that’s the power button to turn it back on other then that this video was a life saver. Apple support did not know. But it worked great. Brand new Mac book air 15 Minch with a M2 chip I could not get the prompt and either. This video on point. Hold the power button on restart the follow your password prompt and boom. All done Thank you.

[@koidravuni6022]

This really help me with MacBook Air 13 - 2019

[@neildean7515]

Just for clarity. Is this to reset the Imac Login or Apple password, mine are different. On updatibg to Ventura, my old password is not recognised and i cannot get back in. Do they now need to be the same thing, if so, i assume i will need to do a clean install and start again?

[@rachelramirez326]

Thank you it was the only thing that worked

[@leogatdula]

Was able to reset my password thanks to your video! 👏👏👏

[@MrVacicak]

This helped me so much, Im sys admin for windows computers and had to learn to use mac because of Management using them for "status". I dont want to be rude but small things like not able to find out what you are typing into login screen, or what keyboard layout is (since mac has @ on differentplace then windows and such) Its just stupid.

[@anyiramos7]

Thank you, very helpful!

[@Lo.ftRecordings-swansea]
