Reset username & PW on Mac Mini Hi, I have a 2024 Mac Mini which I used to use. I haven't used for 6 years but works fine. However, I cannot remember my username of password. Is there any way to reset these or find out what they are? I'm stuck on the home page without a clue (should have written them down!!!) Thanks

To confirm, you’ve read through that link, including the Apple ID reset path, and none of the reset options listed there are working here? If so, the AppleSetupDone path is probably what’s left short of wiping and reloading.
