I use an iMac (late 2013, with Sierra v10.12.6) where 3 user accounts are setup. Every time I login after restart, I am not able to login with my account (say, user1) even with the correct password, the password box just shakes indicating wrong password.

Then, user2 is able to login into his account with his own password. After that, he logs out and I try logging in as user1 with the same password used as before, it lets me in.

This happens every time, so I have to ask user2 to login first, logout and then, I try logging in. I have tried resetting my password few times, but the same scenario happens after every restart.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue and can advise any options here ? I do not want to delete any of these accounts and create afresh.

Thanks in advance.

Can't login to iMac even with correct password first time, works with the same password after another user logs in and logs out
