  • Restart in the Recovery Partition (hold down Command + R on startup)
  • Open Terminal (look in the Menus for it!!)
  • Type resetpassword and follow the onscreen prompts.


Word to the wise, buy yourself a password manager so you can remember all the passwords you are responsible for. I happen to use 1password.
