System Preferences -> Users & Groups. It will be the account labeled 'admin'


There is no way to find the password. It is not stored as clear text. Rather passwords has send through a 1-way hash and the hash is stored. When you enter the password, it is 1-way hashed, and compared to the stored hash to see if you got it right.


To reset the password
