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.
Next, choose Disk Utility > Continue > Utilities Terminal.
Type “resetpassword” (in one word) and click Return.
Go to the main hard drive and choose your user account.
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.
