Used Migration assistant when transferring data from my 2020 13" MacBook Pro 1.4 GHz to the M2Pro Mini. After the process is completed I am brought to the login page. My password is not working, I've tried the password from MBP and the one I created on the mac mini during setup. There's not even a question mark next to the text box to reset. Any ideas?

Hey corndogg27,
You have a few options to reset your Mac account login password. Please try the following steps below:
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 this option doesn't help, please check out additional options from the article here: If you forgot your Mac login password
Cheers!
