Forgot my login password for my M2Pro MacBook Pro

I have a one week old 16” M2 MacBook Pro for which I forgot the login password. After entering a password three times or more, I don’t see any recovery options. What do I do?

Perhaps you may either get lucky by trying suggested paths in

this support article:


If you can't reset your Mac login password - Apple Support

<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212190>


Or take the MacBook Pro to an 'apple authorized service provider'

if not an authorized Retail Apple store, & with an Appointment; be

sure have proof-of-purchase in your possession; they should help.

You may figure some means to restart the MacBook Pro into

macOS Recovery from the instruction from first link; if lucky.
