[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1932192, member: 83420"] That's particularly sad. I'm sorry. How did you "inadvertently change" the PW. By that, I mean you changed the PW, but how "inadvertently"? Did you mean to do something else or did you confuse the Admin PW with a different PW? You can't find the "new" PW - well it's not likely to be available on the Mac in plain sight as that would defeat the purpose. But, have you any hint as to what it might be? I only ask as the final pathway is to reset you Admin PW - I can post the process - but that means losing your Keychain. See here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212190[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202860[/URL] [URL unfurl="false"]https://www.hellotech.com/guide/for/how-to-reset-admin-password-on-mac[/URL] Link one may be the easiest, but all links worth a read before you commit to doing so. Sorry about this. Ian [/QUOTE]
