[QUOTE="mf666, post: 1245524, member: 150934"] Too much thought applied here to a simple issue. No need to use any hash utility to change the old user pw. Just create a new admin user. Any admin can change the pw of any other admin even without knowing the old pw. Boot to single-user mode (hold ⌘ and the S key for 30 seconds at startup). Type: /sbin/mount -uw / Press Return. Type: rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Press Return. Type: reboot Press Return. [/QUOTE]
