How can I find my administrator name and password on my Mac?

Mac OS X

  2. Select System Preferences.
  3. In the System Preferences window, click on the Users & Groups icon.
  4. On the left side of window that opens, locate your account name in the list. If the word Admin is immediately below your account name, then you are an administrator on this machine.

Is admin password same as Apple ID?

The password assigned to your startup volume’s user account is called an administrative (admin) password. Your Apple ID also uses a password that should not be the same as your admin password. If you enable Auto Login the password that is requested is the admin password.
