Lost login credentials for iMac
This is a surprise to me. But this computer is 8 to 10 years old and for the first time it is asking for my login name and password. The password I have, it is the login name that I remember that isn't working. I can see the name from my network settings with my laptop. I can also see it on Find My and play a sound with screen notification that won't go away with the enter key on the iMac.
The desktop screen does not look like anything I have seen before. I don't understand why it isn't showing the same screen as previously.
At any rate my question is there anything I can do to retrieve the credentials that the computer needs from me, that for some reason I can't provide?
I could try a restore from Time Machine, but that would be the last resort because it would be a full restore the way it works.
BTW I have restarted with the same results.
