Well I forgot until last weekend that our company uses a corporate device management service and I was able with that to find my recovery key and then was able to reset the password.
So now I am back to the problem that I need to learn how to use the macbook pro:) I got this macbook pro back in spring last year but only had about a week to figure it out before regular work priorities overwhelmed me for the rest of the year. I am hoping to get back to learning VoiceOver on mac in the next month or so.
