Enter an incorrect password three times and you'll be prompted for an Apple ID. With this set up, you can reset your password by entering the incorrect password three times on the login screen. Daughter was using my MacBook Pro for online learning only for her to bring it to me showing password recovery screen and the cursor erratic and unresponsive. Tried doing a reset using the power button but it came back to the same screen. Tried starting in safe mode same thing happened.
Is it troublesome when you want to start Mac but need to choose a user and enter its password every time? Actually you can bypass this step by setting automatic login Mac with one user.
Now learn to bypass Mac password and automatically login in 2 cases.
Case 1: When you have access to Mac
Sign in Mac with admin account or any other user and go to System PreferencesUsers & Groups, where you can set auto login with any user for Mac.
1. Click the lock at the left-bottom and allow changes with admin privileges in Users & Groups.
2. Click Login Options from the left pane, and you can see the Automatic login option. Turn it on if you really want to automatically login to Mac without password.
2-1 Click the option and select a user from list.
2-2 Then type the user password in pop-up dialog. And click OK to make sure you will login Mac automatically with this user after Mac restarts.
3. Restart Mac now and you could bypass Mac password and automatically login to Mac with specified user.
Case 2: When you lost access to Mac or forgot Mac admin password
While you lost access to Mac or forgot Mac admin password, you will have no admin privileges to change automatic login settings in Users & Groups. But don't worry about you cannot bypass Mac password to login.
By 2 ways below, you will regain access to Mac with admin privileges.
- 1. Resetting Mac forgotten admin password
- 2. Create new admin account without Mac login
Once you could sign in Mac with new password or new admin account, the method in case 1 would help you bypass Mac password by setting automatic login on Mac.
