Restarted my Mac today and the login screen decided I don’t exist.
Instead of showing my main account, it showed my other account, one that I don’t use. And I don’t even remember the password to it..
And the login screen wouldn’t show the usual list of user icons at all. No way to select my actual account.
I was completely locked out. 🥺
I tried going into recovery mode, did some checks, making sure I’m connected to the internet so the MDM (Mosyle, installed by my company) can sync. None of that worked.
Turns out, Option + Enter at the login screen is all you need.
That shortcut key display a username text field! Type your username, enter your password, you’re in.
