It must've happened this morning when I was cleaning the keyboard keys. So tonight, when I get home from work and try to login using that little box on the desktop below the soccer ball, it won't except my password. You know, you can never completely turn off these new MacBooks anymore; just barely bump them and they turn themselves on. It would be nice to turn it "off-off" so that I
can clean the screen or the keyboard. So please help me login so that I can reset the password back to what it was before. Please please. Did I say please?

If you forgot the password to log in to your Mac user account, or the password isn't accepted, choose a reset option from the login window. support.apple.com

Fishrrman's Rule #3:
Fishrrman's Rule #3: Fishrrman: That wasn't the case. The password got erased somehow while I was cleaning the
keyboard and the machine booted itself back up because I was touching the keys with the microfiber cloth. The password is the same password that my brother used to use on his MBP: "jeremy" which is his son's name. I continue to use my nephew's name because it's so easy to remember and quick to type in.
Yeah... I'll say that it is impossible that you could have erased, or changed the password to something else, just by wiping the keys.

What I do think it has something to do with is the very loud female voice yelling at me through the speakers. I don't remember what she said
because I was in a hurry to leave the house and go to work. When I get this all sorted out, I'm definitely going to disable the "Boot on Lid Open" feature like Jack Neill suggested in this thread.
UPDATE:
UPDATE: Gonna disagree here: I have an M1 Air that’s not that much different than the Pro when it comes to the basics and I can totally shut it down to the point where I have to press the power on button to start it up again. Chances of this happening while cleaning? As close to zero as zero can be.

completely off?

Apple Support is clear and consistent: before cleaning a Mac notebook one is to Shut Down the computer, and unplug the power adapter. This will "turn it off." Ditto this. This is how I do it. And pretty much always just with a dry microfiber as I don't
eat over/while using the Mac.
