Q: resetting admin password

I need help resetting my admin password. I have 4 computer logins on one computer I merged them on one big imac. When I set what I thought was the admin password, that password is for the other 3. The admin I forgot what it is. Trying to keep others from being able to access one. Well that did not work! Help!

I understand there is a way to do it using my apple ID How?
