Q: How to unlock AppleID on MBP?

I've changed my AppleID password for security reasons and now my MacBook Pro is locked.

Though I can login perfectly on iCloud & AppleID websites, from iPhone and MBP Guest User.

 

Please, help!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

A:

What happened was I've changed my password and primary email without signing out my Apple ID on my MBP. As I turned the computer off and back on I couldn't login again. Sounds kind of obvious, right?

I had to turn off the internet router in order to log with my original ID and password.

 

So, post-it:

Always sign out from Apple ID & iCloud on MBP, before changing primary email.

 

Thanks for reaching out!
