I bought a Macbook Pro 15" and decided to sell my 13". I believe I erased it all properly and upgraded to Yosemite. It is now some months later and when I went to recharge it- to show it to prospective buyers - I have to enter a password. Needless to say I don't know what it is. Can anyone help me please? Thank you Linda

Start the computer,then press and hold down command and R keys to start into recovery partition.
When you see the Apple logo, release the keys.
Wait until OS X Utilities window shows up.
Move the mouse pointer to the menubar at the very top of the screen, click "Utilities” and then select "Terminal"
from the dropdown.
Terminal window will appear.
Type in resetpassword and press enter on the keyboard.
Leave the Terminal window open.

Select the user account from the popup menu box under “Select user account”.
Enter a new password.
Re-enter the new password for the user.

Click the "Save" button.
Click in the menubar and select Restart.
Log in.
When Keychain dialog box appears, select “Create New Keychain”.
Thank you. However, when I press Utilities, the screen says -bash-3.2 ( and then hashtag but I can't see it on my laptop !). I type in reset password and it says-bash: reset: command not found. Can you help further please? Linda
