If you forgot your Mac login password


We ask because that article contains the recommended steps if you forgot your Mac login password.


In case you are using a MacBook Pro that is running macOS Mojave or earlier, please try the simpler steps below first.

  • "Make sure that you're typing the correct uppercase or lowercase characters. If your keyboard has Caps Lock turned on, the password field shows a Caps Lock symbol Upward-pointing arrow.
  • If the password field shows a question mark, click it to display a password hint that might help you to remember.
  • Try to log in without a password. If that works, you can then add a password by following the steps to change your password.
  • Try to log in with the Apple ID password that you use for iCloud. If you just changed that password and the new password isn't working, try the old password first. If that works, you should be able to use the new password from then on."


Then, continue with the rest of the steps in the article below.
