I am in a similar situation. I do not know my admin name or password. I have a Macbook Air 10.9.4
I hold down command and "R" at the same time and then click restart. Then some gray screen comes on shortly after that has a picture of a lock, and a block to type a password in, however I have no password to type in....
Please Help!!!
