7. How to reset your password

Mon May 17, 2021, 12:45 PM

May 2021

Here are two articles by Apple on how to reset your password:

If you are running Catalina (version 10.15) or newer:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860

If you are running an earlier macOS (10.14 or earlier):
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211672

You can check your version number with 'About this Mac' in the menu bar.

But ... this procedure seems the easiest!

Good luck!
