When updating the OS to MacOS Sonoma, the system does not recognize the login and password

Downloaded Sonoma and my Mac won’t take my password. I’m going crazy-can’t get email or anything.

I wish I didn't upgrade. Honestly, this is ridiculous!! I've been using Macs for over 20 years... this is a first and it's disgraceful to release an upgrade with such an oversight.

Yes, my situation is slightly different. I can login to my iMac, but after most (not all) apps load, the internet and wi-fi is prevented from fully access and chrome and safari have no internet access, but texting works. An alert to Login to my AppleID to access all services appears. I enter appleid and my password, and "we can't access the server" appears. I tried "forgot password" but it pretty much freezes since there is no internet access. Lucky I have a 2015 iMac I brought to work from home. I loads up perfectly fine and its clearly not the internet. I regret uploading to Sonoma at this time. I will try again tonight.

Having same issue, but all the logins on my work mac use my first and last name. Also my company requires a password reset every few months so I have no idea what password might be being used. I've tried everything I could think of.

I've removed other users on my mac. That worked for a few weeks. However, the issue came back and I'd have to reboot the mac in this same way to present me with the username and password field just to be able to login again. It's really annoying.

Hello!!! I don`t know what happened, but I lost the admin account and now, even with all the account names and passwords, I´m not able to change anything or even to download a software...all after Sonoma...

Any help???

Thanks, and sorry about my English.

Best regards!

Same

same here, still unable to login after many many reboots. There is no way to go back to the previous OS, right?

I am having this same issue and it is still happening even on 14.1

Does anyone have a real workaround for this? I've created another admin account, standard account, rebooted, stood on one foot, spun around 10x, praised the Apple peeps and nada.

My account is locked and I cannot get an app. It shows up SS07. I’m trying to log into my account because my sister’s on there and I haven’t seen her in seven years.

I cannot access my emails since the Sonoma upgrade

how? when it comes to it's password what should I use?

I'm having the same problem every time I turn on the computer after a shut down or a restart. In my case I use two keyboard profiles: US and Latin American. My default keyboard is US but for reasons unknown, every time I restart, the keyboard in the login screen appears as Latin America. I changed the keyboard to US and the login worked. But every time I restart I need to change the keyboard profile in the login screen.
