If you’re a Mac user and you’ve ever used Yosemite, then you know that it’s a great operating system with a lot of features. But if you don’t have a password for your Mac, then you’re out of luck. Luckily, there are ways to login to Yosemite without having to remember a password. Here are three methods:
- Use the Apple Menu bar and select System Preferences. Then click on Security & Privacy. In the Security section, click on the Login button next to User Accounts. This will open up your account settings in Safari.
- If you use iCloud, then sign in using your iCloud account name and password rather than your Mac’s username and password. You can find your iCloud account name in the Accounts pane of System Preferences under iCloud > Accounts > Your Account Name. When you sign in using this name and password, Yosemite will automatically create an Apple ID for you and add it to your list of accounts in System Preferences.
- If all three methods don’t work for you or if you have a different username or password for each account, then try one of these methods: 1) Try resetting your computer’s passwords; 2) Try using another computer; or 3) Try contacting Apple support if all else fails.
If you have a computer at home and there’s nobody else around, there really isn’t any reason to login every single time you need to use it. Luckily you can easily set OS X to login automatically.
You can also setup Windows to login automatically.
Make OS X Login Automatically
Open up System Preferences, click on the Security & Privacy icon. Once you are there, click on the Lock icon in the lower left-hand corner.
Once it’s unlocked, uncheck the option for “Disable automatic login” which actually means that automatic login isn’t enabled. It’s slightly confusing, but just uncheck it.
You’ll be asked to enter your password.
And now when you reboot your Mac, you shouldn’t have to login again.
