Bought a new Mac mini last month I managed to set it up correctly and log into my Apple ID ok. Now I’m trying to update to the latest software and it will not accept my account password .any ideas?. I’m trying to update to latest software and being asked to imput my password but it’s not being accepted but works with all my other devices

Thanks for this advice, I just took it for granted that it was looking for my Apple ID will now use my Mac device password . Cheers
Make sure that it is asking for your Mac mini's device password and not for your Apple ID password or a password of another apple device
Mac mini password not accepted during software update
