Sudden death- unable to access macbook pro

My friend suddenly passed away, and her mom cannot access her macbook because she doesn't know the password. There are photos on the macbook that she would like to have, but doesn't know the procedure on how to go about accessing them. What can she do?


Thank you for your help.

The only steps available are listed in Change or reset a user account password on your Mac - Apple Support

If the mom has access to an administrator account this may be helpful following those steps.

Depending on how your friend had the computer set up, it may be tired to her Apple ID which the mom, assuming she's the inheritor, may be able to contact Apple for help recovering the account.

Good luck and sorry for your loss.
