My NEW MacBook AIR 2023 is "frozen" on FINDER window, with only Enter Password box. It Will Not accept any of my Passwords. There are no Task Bars showing, and I can't even access the APPLE Icon on top left.
How can I initiate a "do-over" to start the MacBook Air from the HELLO screen. I have nothing on my opened window but My Name and Enter Pasword, which it will not accept any PW I type in. (Desperate)
