Hello granny.1223,


After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with account passwords. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:


OS X Mavericks: If your administrator password was not accepted


If you are asked to enter an administrator password in OS X and you get a message that the password you entered is incorrect, there are a few things to try.

  • Make sure the administrator password you’re using is correct.
  • Make sure you use the same capitalization you used when you created the password. Passwords in OS X are case-sensitive, and you need to enter them exactly as they were created.
  • If you still can’t remember the administrator password, you may be able to reset it. See this topic:
