When I try to restore the 2020 16" Macbook Pro, In Migration Assistant, I am getting an error message of "Authentication Failed - Unable to retrieve credentials for authorizing user." Is there a way around this?
Just used the response in a similar thread...
Prior to an SMC reset, I turned off the power, then pressed the power button for 10 seconds. When I restarted the MBP (2019), I was able to do a migration without getting the "Authentication Failure" message.
Hey there djstine310,
We'd like to help get you access to Migration Assistant, but you may need to reach out to Apple Support.
Have you tried a reset of the SMC since this began? If not, check out How to reset the SMC of your Mac.
We also wanted to confirm if these are the steps you're following to Move your content to a new Mac.
Cheers.
