connect to wifi from login screen
I changed my Apple ID password using a Windows PC. Now how can I log onto my wifi network on my Mac? I can't get past the Mac login screen because it won't recognize my new Apple PW, until I sign in to my wifi.

Hello Johnnypitchford,
We understand your MacBook is not detecting your password change since it is not able to connect to your Wi-Fi network. We'd be happy to help!
We'd like you to try starting your Mac in safe mode to see if the issue continues. Doing this step will allow your Mac to run certain checks and prevents software from automatically loading or opening. Here are the steps to do this: How to use safe mode on your Mac.
Please note that it will take longer than normal for your computer to load. Also, your screen may flash and change colors. Do not be alarmed this is normal behavior when accessing safe mode.
After starting up in safe mode, reboot normally and test.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
