Hi all
I’ve been using a password for over a year to login to My MacBook Pro. However, it stopped working last night! And I’m crippled. Having gone through all the procedural suggestions out there, I can’t get it retrieved either. The only unconventional this I did yesterday was that I ONLY tried the Migration Assistant, and before it started to run I did QUIT.
Another this I did was that I cleaned the keyboard with hoover and wipe very gently!
Please help.
MacBook Pro (M2, 2022)
