"Vintage" Macbook administrator password doesn't work.

Help- my administrator password doesn't work after I had the genius bar reinstall my hard drive on my "vintage" Macbook (Mac OS X Version 10.6.8). I don't have my Mac OS disc either. What can I do? In simple terms a human can understand, preferably.

MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.


If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.
