im trying to figure out how to change my user admin password so i can download things. it says that a password has already been setup and i do not know the current password so i am stuck 😟
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Since you're running Lion, boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and once the utility screen appears open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal type...
resetpassword
...a small app will open allowing you to enter a new password for the user you select. Enter it twice, give yourself a good hint, click OK and reboot.
Now you can begin using your new password.
Good luck,
Clinton
how do i change my user password if i forgot it?
