Q: How do I start over with passwords?

On my old Mac Mini I knew my Apple ID and never had problems.

Now I have a new Mac Mini, it seems that I have different passwords for different tasks. 

I had to create an iCloud password, which I don't remember.  I have to keep changing my Apple ID password because if I remember it on my new Mac Mini, I forget it on my iPad.  Then of course if I change it using my iPad, I have to remember that one when using the Mac Mini, and on and on it goes.  (Of course, writing them down would help but that's too simple.)

I would like to start over with my passwords and scrub the old (i.e. current) ones completely.  It feels like I'm forever enterting passwords and I can never tell which one it wants. And why can't my Apple ID password be the same as my iCloud password?  Then I'd find it easier to remember; or it wouldn't be so bad forgetting just one instead of two.  The whole thing gives me a headache.
