How to change your password on your Mac

Changing your password is not the same as disabling or removing it, of course. But if you change it to nothing, i.e., you leave the box where you would normally type a new password blank, on some Macs and some versions of macOS, this will allow you to log in or wake your Mac by just pressing Return.

1. Launch System Preferences.
2. Choose Users & Groups.
3. Select your user account and press Change Password.
4. Type in your old password, and leave the new password and verify boxes empty.
5. Press Change Password.
6. Quit System Preferences.

By following the steps above, you can disable the password on your Mac when you log in or when you wake it from sleep. If you disable it when you log in, your Mac will log in automatically to the account you choose. You will still have to use a password to log into another account using fast-user switching or when you log out. If you don't want to use a password when you make changes to application permissions in System Preferences, CleanMyMac X can disable permissions in its Privacy module.
