How to Use Other Account for Resetting a Mac Password – Guide
If you’ve forgotten your Mac admin password, don’t panic. You can reset it using another admin account or by following Apple’s instructions. To start, make sure Caps Lock is off as passwords are case sensitive. Then try the password hint by clicking the question mark in the box. If that doesn’t work, sign in with a different admin account if you have one and change the other user’s password. If not, follow Apple’s instructions to reset your admin password.
