If you have forgotten the Admin password, use the Reset Password Assistant described here:Ĭhange or reset the password of a macOS user account - Apple Support If your user is not listed as Admin, use that Admin user’s password. If your user is listed as Admin, use your login password.

iIs your user listed as an Admin, or is there a different login listed as Admin. If the latter, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and look at the list in the left column. This will cause macOS to be i stalled and associated with your Apple ID. If the former, follow the steps above to back up your files, and wipe and reinstall your Mac. So you do not have your Mac’s administrative password? Is that because this was a new-to-you Mac with macOS already installed and configured, or because the password has been forgotten? I have a new update, MacOS Catalina, that requires an administrator password.
