brother what about ADMIN password? i went to delete an application and it asked for my admin username and password. i know the username but cant remember the password, its been years. i know my password that i enter when i open my laptop but my admin password is different. plz help...
after entering All of the information in with the computer automatically restart or do I need to restart it it’s unclear on what to do after you are done typing everything in
The man the myth the legend. Tysm for this. It was so easy and I’m kinda scared, because anyone can do it in 10 minutes 😱. Anyways thank you

It’s not for the Passwort to log in right?
It worked fine except on the 1st try after using Terminal it did not come up with the change pass word box. I had to do a restart and then after using Terminal the reset box came up and after putting my Apple ID etc. evening worked. So thanks so much for the help.

Same. Any fix yet? I can even access my iTunes anymore and my AppStore looks like a series of ?{¥~\[{ etc. I had to get the Catalina jump drive to get it running. I was able to access safari but has some code I forget come up the small box reissuing there was a volume aiff issue or something like that. I can’t seem to find video w tutorial but it never fixed it. I’m so stuck it’s frustrating. The MacBook came w over 1k worth of recording software which is all I use the laptop for. The software will crash and has no volume. Help?

Only wants to hear compliments. My terminal does not show the user who was the wis\dower of the neighbor that sold this macbook to me. After I type resetpassword it opens the select volume containing the user account and no drive shows up. I know there is a main user, but no one knows the password. No volume appears. Nothing works.I'd like to get their old pics and put it on a usb drive for them!
from 2021 it still function !!!!! tq
