Q: Finish changing your password message

I kept getting a double login screen after I updated to 10.11.5 and I didn't have FileVault enabled. I tried changing the password to see if that would fix it. It appears that it did but now I constantly see a message, "Finish changing your password." When I click Details, it opens iCloud settings and prompts me for my Mac password. After I enter it, nothing really happens and then the same message appears a few minutes later. I tried signing out of iCloud completely and logging back in. Has anyone else run into this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Move the following to the Trash and restart.

     

    Close all running apps. Put the following items in the trash:

     

    1) In the ~/Library/ folder, put the Caches folder in the trash.

     

    2) In the ~/Library/Application Support/ folder, put the folder iCloud in the trash.

     

    3) In the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder, put the file MobileMeAccounts.plist in the trash.
