Options for resetting password on mac pro 16 logon screen

Missing options for resetting password on mac pro 16 logon screen. I tried restart and shutdown but still, no options for resetting my login password, and for some reason, it won't take my original password.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.2

Thanks for the reply and help. I was able to reset my password by logging into Recovery.


Start up from macOS Recovery

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps to start up from macOS Recovery:

  • Apple silicon: Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window. Select the gear icon labeled Options, then click Continue.
  • Intel processor: Turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold Command (⌘)-R until you see an Apple logo or other image.
