hi, thanks for vid. u need to make that option (resetting mac passw via appleid)active in system settings before u would forget your passw

[@user-no9mz5yc1l]

When I get to the reset password pop up, it says “select volume to recover” yet there is nothing under it. There is no account to select. How do I reset if it isnt pulling it up for me?

[@sherryjackson2404]

Thank you so much. I was setting up a new MAC and for some reason it wasn't recognizing the password. I was able to reset it thanks to this video.

[@abiolaibrahim5347]

The issue ended up being a bug where no password being set would break and prompt you for a password that doesn't exist. If your computer has an Apple ID setup, look up the instructions on how to reset the password through the recovery environment.@@lucasf6873

[@angelajyu4803]

Hi thanks for the feedback but it seems that it doesn’t work for me. I have a Mac Book Pro and as I am locked out and forgot my password and trying it do as to what your version to unlock, it doesn’t show on my screen to put the Apple ID and password reset . So it would be great if I can view another video where it will work best for me. I even tried putting my ‘Hint Pwd’ and it still tells me it’s incorrect after it says it’s the right one. This is really frustrating..

I had the same issue but figured it out. Shut it down, then hold command-R and the power button all at once. Hit options, then go up to the utilities tab on top left(or whichever tab you find “terminal” in. Open up the terminal and ONLY type in passwordreset no spaces all lower case. Hit return and a window will come up. Hit deactivate Mac, it will go to a new window and you can simply reset using the options it provides, restart the computer and you’re good to go.
