I have forgotten my password before and I fixed it by changing in the scripts during its power up.
Although now when I go to do that, I have to make a " / " but my shift key will not change my
" ? " mark to the " / ". Is there a disk or something I can purchase to help me out?
Thanks,
P.S
Please do not think I stole this computer I'm just very forgetful.
MacBook (13-inch Mid 2010)
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
