I am locked out of my Mac Desktop Computer

I am locked out of my Mac Desktop. The screen is not the normal screen. It just has a picture of a leaf, my name and enter password. My password is not working. The only other thing on my screen is "cancel" which brings me right back to the same screen.


iMac 21.5″

My password is not working.


Make sure your Caps Lock key is not inadvertently toggled "on". Press it (once) to be sure.


If you forgot your Mac login password - Apple Support explains your options, including those If you can't reset your Mac login password. Follow those steps all the way through to their conclusion.
