icloud log in issue and saved passwords gone

My saved passwords are gone, so I tried to sign out of icloud in order to sign back in to see if that would restrore my saved passwords and now I can't sign into that either. It's asking me to sign into an iMAC? I don't have an iMac (whatever that is). I have a MackBook Air and an iPhone. I clicked forgot Macbook air password and it signs me into icloud but without access to any services. Can anyone help?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

You were using an iMac previously , but you sold it out and did not signed out it from Mac system preferences What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support

Also the iMac and Mac book air were signed in with admin name and password on the same network , and same Apple ID and password .

The iMac still exists in server account see the article to remove it Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in - Apple Support

Come to your Mac book air , it will not prompt to enter admin password for iMac , it is prompting to enter admin password of Mac book air .

You can click on cancel and again sign in with your Apple ID and password with account credentials in MacBook Air system preferences Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

You have removed passwords from Mac safari preferences , Change Passwords preferences on Mac - Apple Support

Remove websites you selected in the list.( selected them and clicked on subtract sign ) .

however if iCloud Keychain is set up Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support

And other devices are synced with the Mac book air Make your passwords available on all your devices with iPhone and iCloud Keychain - Apple Support

The website password will sync with Mac book air , also in safari preferences autofill box is checked , those passwords will be filled in keychain access and you as an administrator can literally view View the information stored in a keychain on Mac - Apple Support
