I went to System Preferences --> Software Update to see if I needed to update anything. The computer told me that I did. However, I cannot download any updates without entering an administrators password. I cannot locate this password. How much trouble am i in?
Usually I am a packrat. I hate to throw anything away. I have my OS X install disks, all the booklets that came with the computer, all my passwords for my ISP and email accounts, etc. But not an admin password. I have tinkered with various distributions of Linux before and I know the importance of holding on to your root and user passwords, but somehow, this one got away from me.
Any advice? Thanks.
