I forgot my Mac login password and I reset it using the https://iforgot.apple.com/ recovery method. But, when I try to login to my Mac, it is not accepting my new password. I tried to reset it using forgot my password, but only option available is using recovery key. I don't know the recovery key either. How do I reset my Mac login password in this case?
