    Damm you r a lifesaver… I just bought my MacBook, set up the password and 15 minutes later tried to login and somehow it’s not accepting my password, tried everything and on top of it, no forget password option was displaying. Watch for lot of videos to fix it, but nothing work, got so frustrated. By the grace of God, came across ur video, simple to understand and it worked. Thank you so much🙏

    THIS VIDEO WORKS!! Saved me money and time thank you!!
    Newer Mac’s hold down finger authentication button (don’t need “command+R”), prompts you into recovery mode, 4 options come up ignore this. Top left find “utilities”, click “terminal”, a small coding box pops up, **make sure you’re connect to WiFi. Once connected, use coding box and type “resetpassword” hit enter, had to click “deactivate Mac”, then allowed me to click on my account id, and reset new password and hint 🎉 all my stuff still intact!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    I watched many videos and not one of them mentioned to type reset password as one word. It's so frustrating when you spend so much time on something to find out one simple thing made a world of difference that so many fell to point out. Thank so very much for your help. Now I can go back to sleep and no night mares.

    You’re an absolute life saver, my fiancé was typing in the correct password but for whatever reason it was saying it was incorrect. After many failed attempts from other videos this one hit the nail on the head and after following this simple guide we managed to reset her password and log back in! Now she can do her college homework again! Thank you times 100!!!

    Just for clarity. Is this to reset the Imac Login or Apple password, mine are different. On updatibg to Ventura, my old password is not recognised and i cannot get back in. Do they now need to be the same thing, if so, i assume i will need to do a clean install and start again?
