macOS Catalina or later:

  1. Enter a wrong password three times on the login screen.
  2. Choose one of three password reset options:
  • Restart and show password options
  • Reset using Apple ID
  • Reset using recovery key (if applicable)


Follow onscreen instructions.


**If using macOS Mojave or earlier, follow the steps at Change or reset the password of a macOS user account in macOS Mojave or earlier - Apple Support.**
