Hi there... Can anyone help me I am on the verge of throwing my new mac book pro in the bin... I purchased in Jan and have hardly used it and I cant remember my admin user name or password. How can I reset?
MacBook Pro
Boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys on boot) and under the Utilities menu, select Terminal. While in Terminal type
resetpassword
An app will start that will allow you to reset the password for any account on your MBP. Select the admin account that you use for your Home directory and just follow the instructions - and be sure to set a tip for remembering your password.
Reboot and use your new password. This will allow you to confirm that you want to install whatever.
bootup holding down command R, you will be going into mac os x utilities (recovery partition) on the menu bar at the top, select "utilities" go down to terminal Type "resetpassword" no spaces and no quotes then hit return. A grey box will pop up behind it, select mac hd from the top, then your user accout. then type your new password in and hit save. then restart your computer
after that follow this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1631
