i set my mini mac can be logged in without passwaord and it was always fine: switch the mac on > go to the login page > i press 'return' key > get in to desktop
Today i switched it on, went to the same login page then just pressed 'return', however it refused me to get in.
I tried to type nonsense 3 times but no 'forget password' or whatever options come up.
What I can do????
Mac mini, macOS 12.6
It should be the same password that you use to unlock System Preference panels.
If you forgot or need to change the password, see > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860

I wish I had more to say but the user guide only mentions changing the password or retrieving a forgotten one . Although , I did find that you may update to Ventura if your MacMini is 2018 to 2023 . I noticed that your version is 12.6 .
I have a MacMini using automatic login as well ~ no issues there , however , I thought I had one … thanks to you , I found out that I don't :
I changed my Apple ID & password , later I noticed that my login password didn't show the new one . It functioned just fine so I hadn't looked into it yet . While looking for your answer , I found this :
Login password = unlock & access information on your Mac .
Apple ID & password = access to Apple services .
So it's correct the way it is … thank you 🤗
I set no password on minimac but it requires it now
