Hi liang277,

The password for Macintosh HD should be your login password. In this case, "Macintosh HD" is your Mac's startup disk.

To understand your situation better, can you please answer the below questions (as best as possible):

What version of macOS are you running? (Apple menu -> About this Mac)
What kind of Mac do you have? What year was it made in?
Can you currently use your Mac normally? Or are you in Recovery Mode?
Are you trying to reinstall macOS? If yes, are you wanting to erase your Mac?
