I Cloud prefernces password on my Mabook Pro

I can't remember my ICloud prefernces password for my Macbook Pro.

I'm able to sign into my Icloud account with my ID and PW but the next prompt is the ICloud preferences password and for some reason its NOT the same as my ID PW.

Please help me

Thanks

Hi pdp1966,


As you are being prompted for a password on your Mac when in System Preferences, could this be an administrator password? This would be the password you use to log into your Mac. If you do not have an administrator account, you might need to ask the administrator account holder to input their password. See If you’re asked for an administrator name and password on Mac for more information.


Hope this helps.


Take care.
