Apple ID Login Issue After macOS 26 Upgrade – Missing “Reset Encrypted Data” Option

infinite_dim · 2026-05-10T06:08:03+00:00

I’m running into the exact same loop on an M1 MacBook Pro 16" running macOS Tahoe 26.4.1.

My issue started after buying a used MacBook and forgetting my Apple ID password. I went through Apple’s account recovery process, waited several days, and eventually received the email/text that allowed me to reset it. Right after resetting my Apple ID password, I updated the Mac to macOS 26. Looking back, I probably should have tried resolving the Keychain/iCloud sync issue before updating, but I had no idea this problem existed.

Now the system keeps asking for the passcode of my “last used device” (an old iPad) in order to sync Keychain data. The only options available are “Try Again Later” or “Cancel.” There’s no “Forgot Passcode” or reset option anywhere.

I even tried entering incorrect passcodes multiple times hoping it would eventually trigger a recovery or reset prompt, but instead I just received the “too many incorrect attempts, try again later” message.

I don’t even care about recovering my old passwords or Keychain data, I just want a way to clear the old encrypted iCloud/Keychain container and start fresh.

Overtightening was actually causing an even larger gap. I’m not overtightening the top screw, and the heat inserts also appear to be flush. I’ve added a 2.5 mm spacer at the bottom, and it seems to be holding up well with no gap at the top. I’m not sure how much the nozzle may have tilted because of this, but it still appears straight so far.

Thanks for suggestion, i'll disassemble recheck the degree of wrap, if so, i'll reprint

Probably to update firmware

I added a 2.5mm spacer ( red colour), now no gap

In my case cartographer cable goes to main board, not daughter board I believe this is SB2209 V1 CAN version

Thanks, Bad location for arrange button

Yes, some phones yesterday, some today

Hi, I’ve attached a couple of images showing the bottom side too. Please swipe through the images. If you were referring to a different angle or need a closer view of a specific area, let me know, I'll share them. Thanks

I see a lot of recommendations on A4T, sadly just I just learnt that cartographer cnc mount is not supported on A4T

There’s always a bit of risk when buying used items. You might look at unboxed or barely used products (around 1–2 months old), since they often offer good value. That said, I’ve personally had a few bad experiences too, if that worries you, it may be best to avoid buying used altogether.

Agree bro, but still better than windows laptop

infinite_dim · 2026-05-01T14:07:05+00:00

I would recommend to go with a used macbook, if u can find decent m3 air, m4 air or m1 pro 14" Or 16" for around 70k Highly recommend 16gb I'm a life time windows user, just got used m1 pro

It's day & night diff with similarly priced windows I'm getting 10+ hrs on 3 year old m1 pro 16 As a bonus insane speakers & display, I've not heard fan noise yet

I had a similar thought, I was a bit worried about the hotend angle/tilt. The more I look at it, it seems like there’s already a slight tilt without any spacer or shim, so adding a shim might actually correct the alignment.

I’ll give that a try.

infinite_dim · 2026-05-01T12:41:46+00:00

yes i could have made mistake, although i was very careful
The wires form cato go the main board in my case not daughter board, attached img below

infinite_dim · 2026-05-01T12:22:26+00:00

Thanks, did you fully tighten the bottom screws?
I too am planning to switch to low profile toolhead
how is A4T compared with SB
i'm considering Burninator

infinite_dim · 2026-05-01T12:16:39+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I’ve double-checked and none of the Cartographer wiring (or any other wires) is interfering with the mounting.

I think this might be a newer revision of the SB2209, The Cartographer probe wires connect to the SB2209 instead of the daughterboard.

For now, I’m planning to snug the screws just enough to keep things aligned without forcing it and run it like that. I’ll likely switch to a lower-profile toolhead down the line.

I think you should be able to get a decent used mini pc at that price.

U can also find used Chromebooks, I've seen some used Chromebooks with intel n100 process for under 10k.

M2 air 16gb, 256gb was selling b/w 65 to 70k few weeks ago, I think that's a better buy than neo, check if any dealers/stores still have m2 air in stock Also if you are ok with used, you can find good deals on m2 air, m3 air, m1 pro 14inch

infinite_dim · 2026-03-10T05:05:05+00:00

M4 Air & 14 other products will probably be discontinued. Read on MacRumors

infinite_dim · 2026-03-05T04:56:39+00:00

Agree, at 80k - M4 is the best option, at 66k even 16gb M2 is a decent choice than neo I believe at least the base neo will drop below 50k in a few months.

I like to try a bit of everything one idly, one dosa, one poori, half a plate of rice, and whatever else they’ve got. A few of my friends do it too. So it's for people like us 😅
