Thank you so much. I was setting up a new MAC and for some reason it wasn't recognizing the password. I was able to reset it thanks to this video.

No words can express my gratitude for your help and effort. Thank you very much, well done Gratemick, I can't express how much I appreciate your efforts. It's great to have someone as special as you. Finally my Mac has been reactivated

When turning the computer on, hold the power button until the setting menu comes up. Open Settings. Menu Bar > Utilities > Terminal > "resetpassword"

Daniel, thank you for the video, I am trying to help my father in law with his MacBook, he picked up a virus and could not get into the system. Geek squad was able to wipe and reset the system. I am having an issue with trying to get into programs such as email and Facebook. I have internet (Tried google and able to navigate so I am on line) as for getting onto his email or FB accounts I am getting the (Passwords are locked), his prior passwords are not working... Suggestions?

When I get to the reset password pop up, it says “select volume to recover” yet there is nothing under it. There is no account to select. How do I reset if it isnt pulling it up for me?
