I have tried using the administrator password multiple times and it never works, what’s going on here? Is my machine attacked by malware or a virus? How can I get the administrator password to work?
- Are you certain you’re typing the admin password correctly? With any necessary upper and lower case letters, etc.?
- Does someone else have access to this Mac who knew the admin password, and now may have changed it without telling you?
If you are certain the password you’re typing is right and the administrator password isn’t unrevealed to others, try to restart your Mac and try again to see if it works fine. If not, try to reinstall macOS to eliminate this issue. If both solutions fail to make the administrator password functional, bring your Mac to the local genius bar for professional repairing. Good luck~
