    Sorry about the recording quality, it was one of my earlier videos and I didn't know much about video recording.
    HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT: I am currently working a server endpoint that will allow people to bypass any icloud locked devices including all Iphones. I will be releasing that video on achieving 1000 subscribers, as otherwise I wouldn't be able to monetize the video. So make sure to click that subscribe button.

    This trick will allow you to gain root level access and bypass any login password on Macs
    Step 1 : Get access to Terminal
    Step 2 : Inside Terminal type "cd /Users"
    Step 3 : Inside Terminal type "ls". This will list all the usernames in the computer
    Step 4 : For the username you want the password to be removed type
    "passwd -d username" where username is the username you want to change the password on
    Step 5 : Restart Computer and get login without password :)
    Bonus : To change the password to something else inside terminal type "passwd username" and then hit enter it will ask you to enter a new password.

    Hello Can you help me please. My Macbook pro has become very slow.
    When I start the computer (Applejack) with cmd + S, the following message appears:
    "Unable to discover location of virtual memory directories
    Make sur that $wapdir is declared in a standard way.
    I think my macbook is so slow because the directorie of the virtual memory is not immediately found.
    Can you help me how to reactivate this memory? How too do?
    Many Thanks

Or any other ideas anyone has would be appreciated. Thanks.

The account i am trying to get past is called Test. Bought this macbook on ebay with broken screen, using it on a 4K monitor but that won't work in system mode.

    I have a 2011 MAC that I have not used in over four years. Since then, I have changed my APPLE ID and APPLE PASSWORD. My MAC doesn’t recognize APPLE ID is it because my APPLE ID is not recognized since it has been over four years and it does not get updated to the Mac since it has not been on? Tried your suggestion on my 2011 Mac a screen flashed up similar to what you had but not as long but then returned to the first screen where you enter the email and password. Is there something else I could do? I tried the COMMAND R I typed resetpassword get to the screen where you type select FORGOT PASSWORD but then went back to APPLE ID.
