Locked out of passwords on my Mac.

I have passwords app on my iPhone, iPad Pro and my Mac. I can access my iPhone because it’s by facial recognition. But my MAC isn’t, and I never set up a password in it and can’t access it now. How can I find the password for it?

iMac 27″, macOS 15.6

Login passwords cannot be retrieved since they are not stored in a readable form.


If you never provided a password then perhaps there is no password. In any event if you are unable to log in to your Mac because it is requiring a password you do not know then you can reset it. Instructions: If you forget your login password on Mac - Apple Support
