How can I reset my MacBook password?

I am trying to log into my MacBook and used the password that I had set. It did not work. I am having a hard time figuring out how to change the password on my MacBook or even trying to get it show me how to reset it.

Reset the Forgotten Mac Password:

A. Where to Reset it:

Reset it using the login screen. You'd go through your Apple ID to perform this. Find out more here: If you Forgot your Mac Login Password - Apple Support. Make sure that caps lock is not enabled when typing it.


B. Troubleshooting the Reset:

C. Learn from This:

Important: Keep a handwritten, hardcopy list of your passwords. Store it in a secret location that only you are knowledgeable of, and only you have access to. And, on top of that, don't share you passwords with anyone whomsoever.
