Sorry, no. The recovery key is the intended method to recover. You must have a copy, or have requested it be stored with Apple. See support article: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18650?locale=en_GB
You’ll have to recall your password, or get the recovery key. You get the recovery key during setup (at least, if done using System Preferences, since it’s possible to do without if setting up from the CLI). I do hope you haven’t lost either. Try every password you think you may have used. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
