  1. Turn off your computer and hold the power button + Command R. Wait for the loading bar to appear on the screen while your Mac boots to Recovery. 
  2. Next, choose Disk Utility > Continue > Utilities Terminal. 
  3. Type “resetpassword” (in one word) and click Return. 
  4. Go to the main hard drive and choose your user account. 
  5. Lastly, change Mac password, create a hint to easily recollect it in future, and click save. You’ll be able to use the new password after a restart.
