Q: My admin account does not have a password.

My Macbook Pro's admin account does not have a password, I dont know how it happened but i have another account that has a password but isnt an admin. I cant download anything or update anything since i need admin permission, but it isnt possible, when i login to my account all i have to do is click, i dont have to put in any password. Please Help.

MacBook Pro, Version 10.6.8

A:

It appears you do not have Lion or later.

In any event you need an install DVD. See:
