My MacBook Air recently stopped accepting my password although it was correct. It wouldn’t allow me to reset my password & nothing else worked so I tried to factory reset the MacBook. Now it is showing a blinking folder with a question mark and won’t allow me to re-install the new Mac operating systems.
