So I have been trying and trying to access my 2010 16” MacBook Pro that is running in high sierra for months now!
I have entered my most recent password for my admin account and still I can’t access it. I’ve tried the recovery mode method to the point where I log in with my Apple ID and still I’m at a dead end. I’ve tried all these methods and there is no way I can get access to Mac! Is there any other way I can get my password ??
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
