Running on a MacBook Air. Had a two-year old try to login a bunch of times and locked my administrator account. When I go into the recovery partition via Command R and run the password utility it comes up blank with no Macintosh HD to select and update password.
Any ideas? Thank you!
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
