Q: forgot login password macbook

Hi,

I have forgotten my login password on my macbook. And my password hint is not helping me at all. Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks!

Resetting or changing a password:

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.
