Change the password on a Mac

Note: Your login password is the password you enter to unlock your Mac when you turn it on or wake it from sleep. It is not your Apple ID password, which provides access to the iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Books, iCloud, and other Apple services.

It’s essential to change your login password from time to time to protect your privacy. Thankfully, Apple makes it easy to change your login password using their instructions.

If you’ve forgotten your login password, you’ll need to reset it. See Reset your Mac login password.
