You cannot recover passwords but you can probably reset them.


You can use Software Update by logging into an admin account (eg first account created) and using the admin account password.


If you cannot remember an admin account password you can use the install DVD to reset it.


If you can't remember admin account passwords and don't have install DVDs please return for further instructions.
