MacBook Air is asking name and password

Hey I just updated my MacBook Air and on restart it’s freaking me out with name and password which I don’t know or understand since I have been using this one password and it’s not working on it.

MacBook Air 13″, 13.3

Thanks.

it’s solved.

it asked name and I was entering my first name and it was not working.

device name is first name but it requires full name and voila.

My latest experience with that was just a couple of hours ago to macOS 12.6.6. Upon restart, it displayed my Apple ID and asked for my password. They are my machines so no problems.


If this is not your device, and you don't know the IDs and passwords that's courting problems. I suggest you ask the previous owner if there was one.
