An Unknown Error Occurred - OS-X Catalina Login But I logged in to Apple.com with rejected password on the MacBoo pro. I can't log in after security upgrade, but it has "sign out" at the bottom?? So I can not access iCloud etc. I changed my password about 5 times before I discovered I could log into my MacPro 6,1 running Monterey that the MacBook Pro was rejecting.
