Hey richardclerke,

I see that you're having some trouble with your Mac mini and its password. I'd like to help out.

Just to confirm, are you looking to reset the administrative password to log into your admin account? If so, these are the steps: Change or reset the password of a macOS user account

If you're looking to reset a different password, let us know a little more information.

Take care.

Hey chris_g1,

Thanks for clarifying the password is on your internal SSD. It sounds like you have a firmware password set. Here's some information about removing a firmware password from a storage device: How to set a firmware password on your Mac

Cheers.

No, reset password on T2 security chip.

Read "Apple T2 Security Chip" 2018 white paper

I read the paper and realized the password is set on the internal ssd and formatted APFS.
