Never post your email and/or phone number. You just open yourself up to a phishing attempt by someone claiming to be Apple.


Follow the steps here for your Mac Login Password. Touch ID to login is not a replacement for that password and is still required that you enter it anytime the Mac is restarted or at least once a week.

To request access to your Apple Account after forgetting the Password, it sounds like you went through the Account Recovery process and the waiting period is required. Make sure to read this Support Article carefully so you don't accidentally cancel your request and have to start the process over.

  • It may be several days or more before you can reset your password. Contacting Apple Support can’t help you shorten this time.
