After incorrectly entering a user password three times at the Mac login screen, a message appears saying “If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your Apple ID”, click the arrow button to bring up a “Reset Password” dialog.Also note that this leads to the creation of a new keychain, but the old keychain will remain intact if you do recall the old password sometime down the road, which you can then unlock later. Understand the caveats before beginning: this method only works if you set an Apple ID to tie with the Mac OS X user account, the Mac must have internet access to use this feature, and this option won’t be available for some users with FileVault protection enabled. Resetting a Lost Mac OS X Password Using an Apple ID The best thing about this password reset method is that it’s extremely fast, and so long as you have internet access you’ll be using the Mac again in literally about a minute, minimizing any potential inconveniences of losing passwords. This method works for resetting forgotten passwords in all new versions of MacOS and Mac OS X, including MacOS High Sierra, macOS Sierra, Mac OS X El Capitan, OS X Yosemite, Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mac OS X Mavericks, and is extremely fast and easy, making it a preferential choice for most users rather than going the command line route of resetting a OS X password with the passwordreset tool, or by creating a new user account.
