I forgot my MacBook Pro password

Changed my MacBook password... then forgot it. Recover key was not set prior to getting locked out.


Any ideas?

While there has been reference to using your Apple ID

to recover or use lost password, I've not used it so far.


Two sort of reference an idea of this, not exact duplicates.

Not sure if these are along lines of a suitable process to try.
