Did you try it more than 3 times?


If you set up password hints, it should pop up ( the password hint) .


be certain you are typing the correct password.


FWIW. I had this problem yesterday am after a power failure knocked out power.


i knew I was entering the correct password. I ended up rebooting my iMac and then when I had to enter password, which fixed it for me.
