How do i find my administrator password if i never set one up?

I went to install my fitbit flex and it asked me for an administrator password...I have no idea what this could be! And i cannot find an easy way to reset this unknown password. Anyone know how to help? Greatly appreciated!

iMac, OS X Server

Your admin password is what you use to log in to your Mac.


Resetting or changing a password:


For Snow Leopard or earlier: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274


For Lion or later: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6022

If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.


If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:
