how can I change administrator password I used my fathers iMac and signed in as guest user but he died and I don't have his information to get in as administrator so I can download or delete things from the computer. I went to geek squid and after paying $39.99 to get help but still can't change to be administrator.

Set a new admin username and password I do not know my admin user and password. My mac was gifted to me by someone and they don’t know the admin details as well. Under system preferences it says that my name is the “standard” user but nothing on administrator. I would like to reset the admin details to a new one without relying on the current admin account that i have on my laptop.

Method to reset Mac OS X admin account password when password isn't known What methods can be used to reset a Mac OS X admin account password when the passwords for all of the admin accounts on the Mac aren't known? We are able to logon to the Mac with standard accounts but don't know the passwords for any of the admin accounts. We don't want to delete or reset the Mac since we need to preserve the data and accounts that are currently on this Mac. What methods can be used to reset the password for the Mac admin account or to create a new admin account with a password that we know?
