why I turned my computer on this morning it took for ever to even show any thing on the screen and when it does it goes straight to a "reset password" screen.. I know my password and am not sure why it does this. Nonetheless I try to follow the different steps to reset password but when I restart my computer as prompted it only restarts back to the same "reset password" screen
MacBook Pro
I had this same problem on my Mac Pro this morning. Safe Mode boot just kernel panicked, and Recovery mode boot would just boot to the same reset password screen. The screen is infuriating, because there's not a "I didn't forget my password, just reset the system state so I can enter it please" option. Anyway, the correct solution for me was to reset NVRAM (hold down Cmd-option-p-r until the second startup chime). This reset the system to just let me enter my password and boot normally.
I have this question but it is compounded by my keyboard and trackpad not working
This worked! Thanks for posting the solution.
Idont know how you figured this out but it totally worked! Thanks!!
