Hi,
I cannot remember my mac admin password.
I don't have the original CD with me.
I have installed BootCAMP on my Mac PRO
All instructions say go to command area and they have "root:/". The problem is that when I try "Command"+"S" buttons, it goes to "Shell:", instead of "root:/". How can I solve this problem?

Please write the exact thing I need to type, I really have no clue about CMD or whatever. I really appreciate it!

Go to the root area where? If you're referring to Windows, the root area is "c" colon backslash. Also it would help if you had given us which version of OS X you're running and what version of Windows that you have installed.

If the root area you're trying to get to is in OS X, you can't get there without your admin password.
