I have bought a new macbook air. The username was set by the salesgirl to my name. However, she didnt ask me for my password and the password appears to be pre-set. I was wondering if there is a default password that comes with the factory settings for the Macbook Air? There were two user accounts on the Mac as well, one that I was able to delete (that's only existed for a week or two) and one that I can't delete as it's asking for the user's password. I have entered the user's password, and I know with 100% certainty this is the correct password as I can use it to log in, and the dialog box just shakes it's.
It looks like some Apple M1 Mac users are facing issues with the Fast User Switching bug. The bug is said to activate the screensaver, not letting the user dismiss it. In case you are unaware, in macOS Big Sur, the Fast User Switching feature lets you quickly move between user accounts, without spending extra seconds in logging out completely. However, based on some posts made by users on Macrumors forums, Apple's community forum and on Reddit, it seems like the screensaver can sometimes take over the entire screen of the M1-based MacBook devices, leaving the workspace completely unavailable.

Brand definition is - a charred piece of wood. How to use brand in a sentence. Branding is all of the ways you establish an image of your company in your customers' eyes. Simply put, your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from that of your competitors. A brand is a name, term, design, symbol or any other feature that identifies one seller's goods or service as distinct from those of other sellers.

The users have to close and reopen the lid on their MacBook Air and MacBook Pro devices or light press the Power button, or use the alt-command-Q key combination to reach the login page again and continue working.
The only temporary solution right now is to switch off or disable the Fast User Switching feature. However, this leaves the login feature inaccessible. Some have even tried to disable the screensaver in system preferences for all users but that also doesn't seem to make a difference.

This issue seems to have cropped up in all three M1-based Mac devices - MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the Mac Mini. It is also said to occur on all versions of macOS Big Sur including the new 11.1 update.
