"Apple id server error in recovery assistant: In Makbook Pro 13" mid 2012 I forgot password of local account so I'm using recovery assistant (ver 1.0) to recover IT by apple id but, althogh I link Mac to wifi network, I got this error: There was an error connecting to the Apple ID Server I'm sure password of Apple id is right, suggestions ?"

Troubleshooting: "There was an error connecting to the Apple ID Server":

A. Start Here: If you Forgot your Mac Login Password - Apple Support

B. Turn Off VPNs:

Are you logged in to any other user --a user that has a VPN turned on in it? If so, turn it off.

C. Apple's System Status:

As of this reply, there are no errors on Apple's System Status Site.

D. Use Ethernet: If WiFi is not working, then be use an Ethernet Cable, by connecting it from your computer to your outer. There is an Ethernet port, according to Apple: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) - Technical Specifications - Apple Support

E. Confirm that you Have Internet Access Elsewise:

Use Safari in Recovery:

1. Hold Down: [command + R]
2. Click: Utilities menu
3. Select: Safari

F. Restart your Router:

If you do not have internet connection, then power off your router for 30 seconds and then power it back on. Was about 2 minutes, and then attempt another session.

Hi TheLittles,

I just read this arcicle you suggested.

It reports only recent OSX infact in older MacBook, in the Recovery Assistant 1.0 (115) It's missing "Disk utility, Restore from TM, Safari, reinstall OSX"

In menu there are these 3 entries:"reboot, shutdown and boot disk"

You need to boot into Recovery Mode (Command + R) or Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R). See the following Apple article for details:

How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support

FYI, this was detailed in the article @TheLittles linked.

D. Use Ethernet:

How can I set ethernet In this assitant ? I tried to link ethernet cable to Mac but no new icon apperas.

I can set only wifi network icon which says that it's liked with my ssid wifi network.

If the Ethernet cable is connected to the Mac when you power on & boot the system, then it will automatically use the Ethernet connection.

E. Confirm that you Have Internet Access Elsewise:

Use Safari in Recovery:

There is no similar opion

See my first note above regarding Recovery Mode & Internet Recovery Mode.
