Allow my Apple ID to reset this passpowd

Hello. Please tell me, when setting up a new MacBook, I forgot to uncheck the box "Allow my Apple ID to reset this passpowd". How can I disable this feature?

Just for the record - the assistance offered was to the OP.


If it did not help in your situation - would suggest opening you own question " Find answers and ask questions in Apple Support Communities "

This does not help for the opposite case: I had said no, but I want to say yes. Do I seriously have to: (1) create a temporary admin account; (2) login to the new admin account; (3) delete the original admin account; (4) recreate the original admin account; (5) login to the new, recreated admin account; (6) delete the temporary admin account...


... just to be able to change this toggle from off to on?
