Hi XcodeTeam,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities!
In order to reset your Mac login password, you'll need to choose a reset option mentioned in this article: If you forgot your Mac login password.
"Option 1: Restart and show password options
- If you see the option to restart and show password reset options, click it to restart your Mac. Then take one of these steps:
- Sign in with your Apple ID, if asked. You might also be asked to enter the verification code sent to your other devices.
- Enter your FileVault recovery key, if asked. It's the long string of letters and numbers you received when you turned on FileVault and chose to create a recovery key instead of allowing your iCloud account (Apple ID) to unlock your disk.
- Select a user that you want to reset the password for, then click Next.
- Enter your new password information, then click Next.
- When the password reset is completed, click Restart."
If you are unable to reset your password using one of the options provided, check out the information in this article: If you can't reset your Mac login password- Apple Support, for additional steps you can take.
