Q: How do I reset my password?
I stupidly thought my admin account either didn't have a password or still had my mother's (because it was her's before mine) so I logged out and went to the guest account so that I can at least attempt at focusing on writing my stories. Now, I forgot my password, I don't have a hint for it and my psychological well-being is going straight to where all the crazies go. I heard that I can reset my password with my AppleID, but the directions confuse me and so do any other directions provided by the computer. Someone help please.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Follow the instructions in the beige and green boxes.

Note
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
