I have a relatively new (less than 6 months old) macbook pro. Somehow the password got screwed up when I tried to reset it. Apple magic mouse 2017. I can log into my macbook pro, but when I went to reset the password (so it would require it when I turned it on and after it went to sleep {I live in a house with 3 roommates and do this to avoid it being used as a public computer} as well as needing it to do updates or install new software) I don't have the old password, so it won't let me set a new password. I'm not super technical, but I can follow instructions.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities

Thanks for your response.
When using the second option as I have forgotten my password..how do I get into the boot mode?Hi, I clicked on system preferences>users and groups>login options>automatic login>my name, and I entered my password too
because that's what my friend told me to, but my mac still asks for my password whenever I turn in on. Is it even
possible to login without a password on a macbook pro?
Thanks.You can't remove your password, it's used to confirm and perform necessary root level installs and Software Updates that your a human and not malware.
But you may need to head to System Preferences > Security and uncheck Disable Automatic Log in.
I really don't advise you do this, a password protects your machine from others doing things to your machine while your not around.
You can log out and leave it, then come back without booting up. Also if some kid steals it, it can keep them out of your account and accessing your files.I'm trying to reset my wifi passwork on my MacBook Pro. There are way too many suggestions on the internet. I want to get the 'real' way to do it so I don't make a mistake. Where to find downloads on macbook air. Thanks

Sorry. Read that as system password the first time. The wifi password needs to be reset in your router, then on your devices. How to do it depends on which router you have.
In the Airport Extreme, use Airport Utility to get into the router. Double click the base station then choose edit. Select the wireless tab. Enter the new password there.My MacBook Pro keeps asking to update software, eg: Flash Player, and I can't install it because I don't have the User Password.
I bought the laptop secondhand from an Auction – the company that it belonged too has gone bust.
I also own an iMac 27' (2010) with all the relevant start-up disks, etc, and was wondering if I could use these to reboot my laptopThe first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime.
To boot from an optical disc, hold down the C key at the chime.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.Dear all, I bought a new MacBook Pro 13' (Mid 2012, MacBook Pro 9,2) and upgraded the OS to Mountain Lion. There have been some crashes (apparently related do Chrome), so I wanted to reset the PRAM to 'clean up' a bit, but it didn't work. I made sure I followed the standard procedure (as in my old MacBook Pro 15' Late 2008, which was stolen), and held properly the CMD+OPT+P+R combination before getting the grey screen. Just to be sure, I tried shutting down and turning on again and also just restarting my Mac. Neither worked. What may be the problem? Thanks.
The fact that Apple saw fit to put out a ML-specific PRAM-reset note confirms that the key sequence is unchanged. Yet I've witnessed quite a few instances of people complaining that it did not work on that OS. Will try when I get on my testbench later tonight. But still seems odd to have such a recurrence of the same complaint.
