Password won't work on new MacMini. My MacMini has been working fine for the first two weeks since it arrived. Last week it refused the password. I tried resetting my Apple password but then I found out it was independent. No variation of the password works. Last night it locked me out. This morning, it does nothing---no lockout, no reset password option. All I have is the bottom three buttons--sign out, restart, sleep. I don't get any prompt to reset. Actually, I don't get any response at all. There were two options I found online to restore, using different prompts according to the type of chip you have. One worked last night to restart the computer, but it did nothing to fix the problem. I suppose I could fix it if I just got a "change password"prompt. Thanks. Kenneth

Mac Password Incorrect When Typed in Correct Ones Hi, I have a problem with my Mac Studio(1st generation 48 core, 64Gb RAM). I have been using my Mac to do some programming with the NLP(natural language processing) models such as Alpaca and Llama(from GitHub). I found the Mac a bit slow so I decided to reboot the computer. After I rebooted the computer, I suddenly found the Mac cannot be entered when I have inserted the correct password during login. I have also tried the recovery login mode and the recovery saids my password is correct. But I just still cannot login into my Mac in normal mode. *I cannot login the Mac so I cannot use EtreCheck* Does this happen when Mac is being attacked by Malware and what should I do next?

Hey there,

What type of password are you trying to reset?

Thanks
