Probably been asked before. Not able to sign in with my Apple ID on Macbook Air. Never sends an Veri Code and just keeps asking for id and password. I created a New Admin and it works there, but i need to use on my original admin. Will let me submit questions to this community using the apple id. ???
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
Greetings drnoble29,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're glad you're here, and it will be our pleasure to assist you.
We understand from your comments that you're unable to sign into your Apple ID in your primary Admin user account on the MacBook Air. You've set up another Admin user, and you can sign in there, but you need to link the Apple ID in your primary Admin user on the Mac.
You've done great troubleshooting to isolate the issue to your primary user account. Based on what you've shared, there is clearly something blocking you from signing in when you're logged into your primary user account. We recommend these steps to further isolate the root cause and get this resolved.
You'll find additional steps to guide you in the article, depending upon whether the issue continues or goes away when you've booted into safe mode. Feel free to post back if you have any additional questions, and we'll guide you forward.
Kind regards!

You're on the right track! Also be sure to check:
All the best!
Safe Mode did not work either. So will do MacOS Recovery and reinstall BigSur. Hopefully that will solve the issue.
Hey drnoble29,
At this point we recommend you Contact Apple Support directly for further assistance. Be sure to share the steps you have completed already, along with any alerts you see when trying to log in.
Warmest regards.
Even after the Recovery and Reinstall of Big Sur I am still unable to sign into my apple id. However, I am able to sign into this Apple Community and post here. Odd that i can sign in under a second admin, but not my main admin. Not sure where to go from here?
You're very welcome! Have a wonderful weekend.
I have done all of this and it still will not let me login in to Apple ID on my 1st Admin.
