Apple’s Apple Vision Pro: Password Woes

Apple’s announcement regarding its Apple Vision Pro headset brings a sobering reality for users who forget their device password. Priced at $3,500 USD, this futuristic headset lacks an easy fix for password retrieval, requiring owners to visit an Apple store for a manual reset. This reset applies specifically to the device’s password, separate from the Apple ID.

Concerns arose on Apple’s support forum as users sought solutions for forgotten passwords. Apple representatives responded, advising users to bring their devices to an Apple store for assistance. Bloomberg’s report highlighted this unprecedented requirement.

Upon visiting an Apple Store, users discovered a workaround involving the attachment of a Developer Strap to the Vision Pro, enabling a connection to a computer via USB-C for password erasure. However, the Developer Strap, priced at an additional $300 USD, is exclusively available to registered Apple Developers, posing a challenge for owners not within reach of an Apple store.
