New Apple ID password fails on iMac for Tahoe IOS 26.2

I have changed my Apple password using my iPhone. This new password has been accepted on my iPhone, iPad and even on AppleTV+ and on this actual Forum. But It isn’t accepted on my iMac when trying to install Tahoe IOS 26.2.

iMac 24″, macOS 26.1

Are you sure it isn't asking for your computer administrator password?


Have you tried restarting your computer since changing the password? I know that with Sequoia, my computer is bad at checking for new configurations.
