    have a 2018 mac laptop running ventura

    I am trying to delete certain applications > right click on app > move to bin

    brings up a 'finder' window with my firstname.lastname and a password box

    its not the password I use to login to mac, and its not an old password I thought it was, have tried a few more also but no luck

    is there any way to reset this finder password when trying to delete apps etc?

    Are you logged into the admin user account? Are there other user accounts?

    I logged in to mac with my firstname.lastname

    I think this is the only account

    I changed the ‘finder’ username to admin to see if that worked with my password and no luck
