= What to do if you got an "exit slideshow" password prompt and forgot the password = If somebody has locked your Macintosh with an "exit slideshow" prompt, there is a way to bypass it. But first we should talk about how that prompt shows up in the first place.

Keynote has a feature that can make you require a password to exit a slideshow. According to medium.com, Microsoft implemented this as a safety feature, mostly for businesses. Apple later did the same with Keynote.

These methods I will show you can be done by anyone (no software required).

Method 1:
Watch an in-depth video by clicking here

What to do if the video doesn't work:
If the video doesn't work, you should then do a "Hard shutdown", There are 2 ways of doing this.

Way 1: Hold the power button until a prompt shows up and ignore the prompt. Keep holding the power button until it shuts down, then you can safely reboot by pressing the power button once again.

Way 2: If the first way of force shutting down your Mac doesn't work, just simply unplug it. If you are on a MacBook then you will have to wait for the battery to die.
