AH, I see your problem now - so it is the Apple account login password
you don't have. Sorry I went down the wrong burrow. I actually don't
know how to recover the Apple Password if it becomes lost. I hope
someone else here can help - I'd like to know too.
I suppose a call to Apple Help may get you along the way to success but
if you're outside of the Apple Care date not sure if they'll help.
Kind Regards
Peter Crisp

Re: [WAMUG] Mac mini
Thanks Peter,
I should have more specific when I fire up I am asked to set time
and date
etc as I have no password to startup but I need a password to unlock
to
change date and time which is the one I have forgotten my other
problem is
even though in system preferences it indicates I am connected to the
net
the network in the top of the page menu is blanked out and when I
try to
open safari you are not connected to the internet message appears by
the
way this mac mini is old and running HI sierra.
Regards Bill
