I tried and it wasn't for me I completing forgot or the computer acuatully got sdefensive and rejected my passwords attempts. But I think I for got it .
Well other than a backup and reinstall, there is not much more I can offer. Just a lesson in password protection I suppose. Keep track of them somewhere. A bit like forgetting the combination to your safe.
Good Luck

If you scroll down the page you will see this:
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
After following these steps, you'll want to also follow the steps in this article.
I thought you read John's post?
