@Razormac: Here is what I did to create a new Admin password, I followed a Youtube tutorial. These were the instructions: 1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key (or command) + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):

mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now

4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account.
As not to loose files the new admin account must be a new name and not one previously used. I've only tested this on osX.

After creating the new Admin account I searched throught the MacHard drive and found the old admin account that has all of the files I need. They all have red minus signs (-) on them. I tried to unlock with the new Admin password, but Im still locked out.
