I have done this before it is rather easy to do.

  • Turn off the computer
  • Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
  • When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line)
  • mount -uw /
  • rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
  • shutdown -h now
  • After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. from there you can access the files on the other account that you cannot gain access to.
