Long story short, my wife completely forgot what her log-in password was for her machine. And the "hint" that she wrote for herself isn't helping at all. So after trying a bunch of different things, I ended up doing a remote reset/erase via the "Find My" app on her phone. It worked well...but now it boots to a screen where it's asking for a name and password - And we don't have one to enter!
I tried going into the Terminal in recovery mode to do the "resetpassword" function...but when I do that, it says that there are users on the machine to reset!
So what am I missing? When you start the MacBook, it boots to a wallpaper background and asks for a "Name" and "Password" along the bottom, but I have nothing to enter...and the terminal thinks there are no users on the machine. Any ideas? Thanks!
