Big dumb mistake. Changed my admin password to a lengthy auto generated password. Took a screen shot with intentions of writing it down. Got distracted, laptop snoozed and locked. No appleid on this laptop. I can access the guest account. But that’s all. Tried all of the Apple support suggestions, none work. Everything I try ends up at the screen to select the user account and login. I have accepted that I have probably lost my locally stored data. How do I get back to a functioning laptop? Can I change the SSD since I can’t access the current one to erase and restore? What issues should expect if I can drop in a new SSD?
