I need to reset the password for my wife's old iMac 2008 with Yosemite OS She has forgotten the password and we have been unable to recover it. I can get to a reset password button but it doesn't offer an option for having forgotten the old password. It requires the old password to reset to a new password. We need to get into files still on this computer.
