How to Change Your Mac Password If You Forgot It

If you're locked out of your Mac and forgot your login password, don't worry - there are several ways to recover it. In this article, we'll walk you through the different methods you can use to change your Mac password.

One way to reset your Mac admin password is by using another administrator account. If your Mac contains multiple users and you have log-in information for another user's account, you may be able to recover your login password with that account.

Another method to reset your password is by using the password hint feature. If your password hint does not appear when you try to log in, it means that it was not set to show password hints in the Login Options. Don't worry - there's no limit to the number of times you can enter a test password. Your screen will shake every time you press return, and after three shakes, your hint will be displayed below the Password field.

To access the System Preferences, click on the icon at the bottom left side of your screen. Once in System Preferences, select Apple > System Preferences to view your password hint when you try to log in three times incorrectly.

If these methods don't work for you, there are several other ways to reset your Mac login password:

* Resetting your Mac password using Target Disk Mode

* Using Keychain to reset your Mac password

* Resetting your Mac password as a single user mode using the Terminal

* Using FileVault to reset your Mac password

* Resetting your Mac password in Recovery Mode using the Terminal

* Resetting your Mac admin password using your Apple ID

By following these steps, you should be able to recover your Mac login password and regain access to your computer.
