If you forget your login password on Mac

If you can’t remember your login password for your Mac, try the following:

If you forget your password while logging in, click the question mark in the password field to see a hint. If you don’t see a question mark, your user password doesn’t have a hint. See Add a password hint.
If you must enter an administrator’s name and password but don’t know them, ask the person who set up your Mac for help. If you set up the Mac, the user you created during setup is an administrator.
If you don’t have a password hint, or if you can’t remember your password after displaying the hint in the login window, you can reset your password. See the Apple Support article If you forgot your Mac login password.
