Forgot Mac Password? How to Reset Your Mac Password ( without CD)
Stage 1) Boot into Single User Mode and remove a setup file
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
Stage 2) Create a New User Account upon System Boot
You aren’t finished, but the hard part is now over – no more command lines, you’ll now be in the familiar Mac OS X GUI to finish the password reset process. In this step we just create a new user account as if you just got a new Mac:
Stage 3) Reset the Forgot Password via System Preferences
You are almost done, now you just need to reset the forgotten user account password using the Accounts control panel:
Optional: If you’d like, you can delete the temporary account you created to reset the users password. This is wise for security purposes.
