New MacBook Air pw change locked out

I just purchased a 2023 MacBook Air and one from a local college. They ordered too many and didn’t use them.


I have a brain injury and I’m locked out because I can’t remember my passwords. How do you get past the password screen to change your password. Reboot the entire device? Please help me folks. I need to finish setting up my laptop.

I am assuming that this laptop is not currently being managed by this local college. This would mean they would need to be involved with assisting you with this issue.


If they don't actually manage it, and it was still in a sealed box when you purchased it, then please take a look at the following support article to try to regain access to it from a forgotten password.
