I just got a new MacBook but unfortunately forgot the login password...I do remember the Apple ID and password though. Any suggestions on how I can retrieve the password or change it to gain access?

Forgot password to old MacBook Air Have an older Macbook Air( 2014) that we have fixed so the kids can use it. It's been years and cannot remember the password. It prompts to use my apple ID but will not accept it( probably because it's not connected to the internet), how do I get back into this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How do I login to my old MacBook Pro if I forgot my password? How do I recover my password for my old MacBook Pro? I don’t remember the password. The MacBook Pro does not give me a reset password option. Is there a way to reset or login to my old MacBook Pro if it is a registered device on my Apple ID? I can see the computer under my apple id
