passwords

Ahhh don't you hate it when you make a password for an account on the computer then the next day you forget it? well yah that recently happened to me and I was wondering if there are any programs that are able to detect a password on a computer and give it to me or change it?
i have another account but what i need is on the account that i forgot the password to...so any help is greatly appreciated thankyou

Just use the install disks that came with your iMac. Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.

Orrrrr....come up with a pass phrase you can actually remember. I mean, what's the point of passwords you forget all the time?
