There is no default password. It's whatever you set it to be when you first setup the mac. What operating system are you running? If you forgot the password and you have an install disk, you can boot to it and use terminal to reset the password. You open terminal in utilities on the install disk and type reset password and hit inter. That takes you to a password reset screen. If you do not have the disk, you will need to use single user to do this. http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/25/change-admin-password-mac/
