hi, thanks for vid.
u need to make that option (resetting mac passw via appleid)active in system settings before u would forget your passw
No words can express my gratitude for your help and effort. Thank you very much, well done Gratemick, I can't express how much I appreciate your efforts. It's great to have someone as special as you. Finally my Mac has been reactivated
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!! ☝🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you so much. I was setting up a new MAC and for some reason it wasn't recognizing the password. I was able to reset it thanks to this video.
When I get to the reset password pop up, it says “select volume to recover” yet there is nothing under it. There is no account to select. How do I reset if it isnt pulling it up for me?
worked for me - thanks for this!
Thank you so much. You’re saved my life..
Does anyone know how to reset/bypass a password protected dmg file on a OS Ventura? ... can't find it anywhere..HELP PLSSS

Daniel, thank you for the video, I am trying to help my father in law with his MacBook, he picked up a virus and could not get into the system. Geek squad was able to wipe and reset the system. I am having an issue with trying to get into programs such as email and Facebook. I have internet (Tried google and able to navigate so I am on line) as for getting onto his email or FB accounts I am getting the (Passwords are locked), his prior passwords are not working... Suggestions?
I can’t get the password reset option to show up.
I just hate Mac
You need to type it after clicking the utilities option you then type resetpassword without spacing
e.g reset password❌️
resetpassword✅️
@@moluabright4675i have no option for utilities
I can’t get to utilities or anything else, but the home screen where it asked for your password
Me too😢😢
does it work with a mac who was used by a user who had another apple id? or should it be the ssme apple id that was usedon the mac ?
You're a gem ❤😩🙏🏽 thank you
After logging in my email and password, I get an error, "There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server"
The account is locked and nothing shows up like this or did show up like this
Thank you !
Hi, my problem is that the question icon doesn’t appear and the three attempts method doesn’t work, what can I do ??

YOU SAVED MY LIFE THANKS SO MUCH 😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So my problem is my Mac book pro 13 won’t let me connect to anything but it’s connected to my Wi-Fi but won’t no further helpppppoppp
So what do you do if the popup never appears and the system accepts an infinite number of failed password attempts?
my problem too
The issue ended up being a bug where no password being set would break and prompt you for a password that doesn't exist. If your computer has an Apple ID setup, look up the instructions on how to reset the password through the recovery environment.@@lucasf6873
fixed it, boot it into recovery mode and go from there
@@lucasf6873 what do you choose on the Recovery Mode? I Reinstalled MacOS and I still can't reset the password
@@lucasf6873how did you do that?
Hi, thank u for the video.however, im stuck at Terms and conditions. Not able to click button “Agree”.please help

Hi, I have been using a Macbook Pro M1 laptop and now I don't remember admin apple id and password. I was using it with a guest user account. Therefore, I want to reset it completely so to use it with new apple id and password .Please suggest How I do reset it.
Thank you, however I tried every and I have my wifi on however it gives me an error that “ There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server… what do I need to do
Same problem, please help
Any chance you guys figured this out. 😢
Thank you!!!!!! Worked !
I bought this imac second hand. I set it up but did not trx my data from my old mac. I have no question mark and no amount of failed attempts at password will lock me out or produce a pop up. :/
Resetting does not produce a question mark, nor powering off and on.
Any ideas?
Same. No question mark. Just 'user' 'Enter Password' and the 3 options to Sleep, Restart or Shut Down along the bottom. Dosen't help you I know, but bro., if you find an answer.... I'll post here if I find anything useful as well
Exactly the same thing that's happening to me smh apple
@@jonathanwillett2525try holding down the fingerID button + command + R ..hold it down until the mac has been fully reset.
Hi it need recovery key from my side. Where do I get that?
hi! i need help coz there is no pop up on my mac
What if I don't have the question or the things at the bottom? Cancels only at the bottom
i dont have the reset button down the hint, what do i do
There’s no question mark on my wife’s MacBook Air 13”
on my also there is no question try 9 different wrong pass
same have you fixed it
@@AppleGuy7me to have you fixed it idk what to do about to smash my screen and give to
It says there was an error in communication with iCloud for some reason
How do you do it with the 2024 m2?
I don’t have the option for reset and even clue? At the time what to do?
I have NEW 2023 MacBoopPro
Nothing on RUclips is helping. I can’t retrieve any sort of help here.
What if Mac is NOT connected to WiFi? I can't see any icon to connect before password change procedure.
On boot-up click on command and R keys until the apple icon shows, then :
Go to “Utilities” in the Apple menu.
Select “Terminal.”
Type “resetpassword” (a single word), and click “Return.”
Select your user account.
Reset your password and click “Save.”
Ughh! None of these worked. There is no question mark on mine. After 3 failed attempts, I was locked out of trying for 1 minute. After another attempt, I was locked out for 5 minutes. After another attempt, I was locked out for 15 minutes. I have no option to restart. Only an option to cancel. I guess I'm a 1%er,
Hey! I got the same scenario huhu. Have you unloocked yours?
@@ednalynalbarico5737 not yet

Thanks man! Worked like a charm!
Same problem here , the Mac refuses to allow me to change my password, and there is no ? And if I put the wrong password in 3 or more times there is no pop up to allow me to change the password
@DanielAboutTech I followed all of your instructions but I still dont get the option to reset my password. Is there any other way of resetting it?

I have - on my Macbook Air - a user logon screen with my image (user) as well as a guest option. There is NO question mark (?) behind my password box. What should I do? Thank you
I'm having the same issue
Nice mine doesn’t have a question mark
more options doesn't show on my macbook air after long press of power button. forgot password is the only option that shows which takes me to enter recovery key which i can not remember.
This didnt work for me!!
How can i solve it 😢
I can see the hint but I can't see the reset on underneath it
My login screen shows enter password and the question mark. But when I click on question mark it only shows me my hint. No other wording to reset password. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I have same problem

What if I’ve tried all three times to reset my password and it just never gives me another screen, and I followed this to the letter
What if I’ve tried all three times to reset my password and it just never gives me another screen, and I followed this to the letter
Hi thanks for the feedback but it seems that it doesn’t work for me. I have a Mac Book Pro and as I am locked out and forgot my password and trying it do as to what your version to unlock, it doesn’t show on my screen to put the Apple ID and password reset . So it would be great if I can view another video where it will work best for me. I even tried putting my ‘Hint Pwd’ and it still tells me it’s incorrect after it says it’s the right one. This is really frustrating..

Bought a brand new MacBook air set it up and a few days of owning it my password stopped working no clue what do do I need it for school
I can’t it say can’t connect to Apple ID server
nope i cant get pass my owner screen and then usually hit the enter button 😢
Thanks!
I rebooted and pressed Command R on the Macbook but it still went back to the same log in screen without seeing the reset password screen. Can someone help please?
I have the same problem is there anyone can help me?
Will a notification be sent to email to confirm password has been changed????
That does not happen on mine and I got it this year. I tried the hold down power key option to see if I can reset. That just asked for a key it never sent to me. So I will keep trying
I had the same issue but figured it out. Shut it down, then hold command-R and the power button all at once. Hit options, then go up to the utilities tab on top left(or whichever tab you find “terminal” in. Open up the terminal and ONLY type in passwordreset no spaces all lower case. Hit return and a window will come up. Hit deactivate Mac, it will go to a new window and you can simply reset using the options it provides, restart the computer and you’re good to go.
this worked with "resetpassword" vs "passwordreset"@@SashaExcelsior
Thank you
Please I use a MacBook Pro 15” 2010 or so

Yeah what if you can’t see that question mark
I’ve been locked out for a week and following you instructions and can’t get anywhere but the orange screen
I don’t have a shutdown , restart or setup option at the bottom like your computer. I don’t see a password hint. My apple phone password still works on my phone but not on the Mac mini.
It won’t let me login with my Apple ID either
Mine worked with holding Command+R.
How can I connect to internet if MacBook Pro is locked?
Tried everything the forgot password option isn't coming up. Also don't know my apple id! Haven't used the mac in probably 2 years
It does not work at all. The pop up does not come up after 3 pw tries on 2023 mac air m1.
What if the 123 method doesn’t work??
small problem: i didnt turn on that reset password with apple id so now when i log in to try to reset the admin accounts password it says i need to type in the password to reset the password
None of these work out for me for some reason. I didn't the command + R.
My Mac did not show the pop up or question mark even after restarting?
I didn’t show the question mark 😢
I tried typing wrong password no question mark tried again and it still didn’t work

Thanks is work❤🎉
I'm Not getting the "enter Apple ID", instead I get, "enter your recovery key" and I don't have it...! Any ideas...?
how did you solve this? having the same issue
How did you solve it? Please tell us
they unblocked my Mac in the apple retail store.. I had activated the filevault at the initial setup that's why I could not recover my password@@ronelmeries6189
My problem was set up a password for my new Mac thinking “Oh, I’ll remember that.”
Famous last words
Thank God for RUclips channels with various and diverse “geeks”who know how to convey their ‘know-how’ to we mere mortals.
I have the same problem. how did you solve it? I havent connected to my Apple ID to my new Mac. so this video is not helping :(
Nothing changes after inputting 3 random passwords
Old guy here. I set up my new Macbook Pro hastily and only did the fingerprint.....no password. Now I'm locked out. No question mark, no three tries, just nothing. Sure hope you respond to this.
If anyone else is dealing with this predicament, as I and this guy was, when you restart your MacBook, hold the power button down to open up more options, from here you will be prompted through a restart with your Apple ID, also customer service walked me through this in about 2 minutes, just give them a call if you hit a snag.
@@thomasriggins6345 Thanks Thomas. I admit that all the Instagram "helpers" above just looked like fishing. I solved the problem by finding a young computer whiz and he fixed it. Have a great day-
Hurry up already lol❤Thank so much
MacBook Pro 16 inch 2023, don’t even think I ever made a password but it’s asking for one at the login screen. There’s no question mark no matter how many times I restart the computer. And no window pops up no matter how many times I enter the wrong password.
Same problem were you able to sort it out so that you can let me know
