How do I reset administrator password for OS X 10.9.5
I have an old iMac (c. 2009). I purchased Mac OS X Snow Leopard in 2012. I have the disc. I also at some point upgraded (paid for?) the operating system and must have downloaded it. I have no disc. I have OS X 10.9.5 (13F34). I apparently set up my computer to open automatically with no log in. And it does. Problem is that I want to install a program I downloaded and I am asked for my administrator password. It apparently is NOT what I have written down. So I would like to re-set it. I have done some research but can't figure out how to do this. I do have my apple ID and password. And I have the Snow Leopard Installation Disc as well as the original (2009) iMac OS X Install DVD. How do I proceed?
