Apple ID reset for MacBook Pro

I’ve already reset my Apple id to login to my MacBook Pro but the new password still doesn’t work. Do I need to wait hours/ days for it to work or call to get it reset again?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.10

Thank you for replying.


It worked after I tried to login. But a couple hours later I shut down after it froze so it locked me out again. After I logged in a pop up message says : com.apple.iCloudHelper.xpc wants to use the “login” keychain.


Am I supposed to key in and use my Apple ID password or my MacBook password to login? If I press cancel the pop up doesn’t go away
