Forgot Password For MacBook Pro and Can Not Recover Help please. I forgot the password to my MacBook Pro. I went to Recovery Assistant to reset it, but it says it can’t connect to the server to accept my Apple Password because my MacBook isn’t connected to my wi-if. It always connects automatically. A banner appeared telling me to goal to the Tool Bar and connect to wi-if, but I can’t get to the Tool Bar to connect it until I can get into my MacBook. Please advise. I’m desperate to open my MacBook. Thanks, Rick
