You are a genius. I have a macbook pro 2011 stopped using 5 yrs and forgot password. After an hour psyching myself to chuck a guy on here said hey I can factory reset. Better than nothing yet it didn't work. After feeling really down I saw you thought yeah right.t but tried and it worked. You are AMAZING the 30 yes of music which is what I wanted to save I have back . thank you 😘
