Q: recovery of password on Snow Leopard
I am tryint to upgrade an old iMac 20" flatpanel to El Capitan from Snow Leopard and I undoubtedly did something that has changed or corrupted the password.
I have a disc copy of Snow Leopard but do not see anywhere to reset the password
Has this procedure been changed or is it just hidden somewhere?

iTunes
Boot off the DVD and then go to the Utilities menu. Select Reset Password, select the admin account, and then change the password. Restart normally.
