I have a MacPro that has been cleaned up and I am trying to set it up for the first time. I did use my IPad to get started. it allowed me to set up a user name and password. Then the MB battery died (I forgot to charge it) and NOW it turns on, I put my password in and it stays stuck on “signing in”
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 26.2

Is this an Apple silicon MacBook Pro, or one of the last of the Intel MacBook Pro models? Managing an Apple silicon Mac is different from managing an Intel Mac. Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support
PS: The Apple Mac Pro is a big pedestal computer; a very different computer.
