[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1581165, member: 131855"] Give [URL="http://www.macyourself.com/2011/08/20/how-to-reset-password-for-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/"]one of these methods[/URL] a try. It should work for 10.8.5 as well as 10.7. BTW once you get things back up and running properly consider adding a second admin account to that Mac. Choose a password you will remember. This will give you a pathway to fixing things even if your mom can't remember her password. [/QUOTE]
