You’ll be able to use the new password after a restart.
Lastly, change Mac password, create a hint to easily recollect it in future, and click Save. Go to the main hard drive and choose your user account. Type “resetpassword” (in one word), and click Return. Choose Terminal from the Utilities window. Here’s how to reset password on Mac from Recovery Mode: If you have an M1 Mac, the process is slightly different: Wait for the loading bar to appear on the screen while your Mac boots to Recovery. To activate the Recovery Mode on an Intel-based Mac: For such cases, there’s a method to recover your password via Apple’s Recovery Mode. There are no password hints and you can’t call it to mind, even though you’ve already tried to enter all pet names. You forgot Mac password and can’t access any of your accounts. So the Recovery Mode was not very helpful.Hope this is just a “what-if” for you, but let’s imagine it happened. I've tried the recovery mode where pressing the startup button for a while gets a menu with "Options", but once in there, I only get to choose which of the volumes to recover, and it's again asking for a password, not for a recovery key. The format of the key is ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD. But I don't know what to do with the key. 
I've found such a key that I wrote down on the same day I set up this volume. I've done some reading and understood that it's possible to use a recovery key. I can log into OSX as usual and I can use everything else normally, I just can't access the encrypted volume.Īfter logging in, I'm asked for a password to unlock the volume, but I don't have the password.
Today I rebooted for the first time and was locked out of this encrypted Volume. I have used the computer since then without rebooting, just going into sleep mode when not used. This volume shows up in Disk Utility, described as "APFS Volume, APFS (Encrypted)" I set up my new M1 Macbook Pro about 3 months ago and made a separate volume for safekeeping things inside.
