[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1939536, member: 83420"] A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. You say you used Migration Assistant to copy over data etc from old Mac to new. When you did this, did you get an "offer" of creating a new account on your M1 or replacing the current account on the new M1. I ask because, depending on the "account" choices you made, it is possible that you have, in effect, created a brand new account on the M1 which, if so, could lead to permission issues regarding your data and could explain why your old PW doesn't seem to work on the M1 Mac. In replying, could you give us as much detail - blow by blow if possible - of how you used Migration Assistant, please. Ian [/QUOTE]
