I know this is 2 months old. But you just enter your password and hit enter. It does not show you typing the password, it will just show the little lock or key icon. So just type the password and even though it doesn't indicate you're typing, you are. And hit enter.

How do I create a boot disk using my working m2 Mac mini for a 2011 MacBook Pro with a brand new drive installed without any os? Trying to boot into recovery mode, it send me to the original LION installer. I attempted to run the installer just to get an OS on that drive, but it failed to install. Please help me figure this out, as the MacBook is in mint condition and I want to use it for basic web surfing, email.

@@aerocreates since this was done about four months ago, I don’t fully recall. I think I used two separate thumb drives. One with Catalina, and one with Sonoma. I also kept the original hard drive with High Sierra just in case anything went wrong. My laptop didn’t end up liking Sonoma very much and so I set it back to Catalina. Might try for Sonoma again now since there have been more patches/updates.

This is so helpful! Thank you. I was in a state of panic because my MacBook Pro Mid-2012 was rendered useless because I (un)intentionally deleted its entirety including the software due to me having problems with the WiFi (cannot be turned on) and so I deleted it and it was reverted back to OS X (Mountain Lion) which blocked me from accessing certain networks and apps. However, due to this video's simple instructions, I was able to reinstall Mac OS Catalina and re-obtain my privileges. Again, thank you.
