If you forget your administrator password
If you don’t remember your administrator password, you can reset it using the Mac OS X installation disc.
Important:Because a user with the Mac OS X installation disc can gain unrestricted access to your computer, you should keep the disc in a safe place.
To reset the administrator password using the Mac OS X installation disc:
- Insert the Mac OS X installation disc into your computer’s optical drive (or an optical drive connected to your computer), and then double-click the Install Mac OS X icon. Note: If you’re using another computer’s optical drive, make sure your computer is set up for remote installation, and then go to step 3. For more information about remote installation, see:
- In the Installer, click Utilities, and then click Restart.
- When the Language Chooser appears, select your language, and then click the Continue button (looks like an arrow).
- In the Installer, choose Utilities > Reset Password.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to change the password.
