Trying to install Adobe. But forgot admin. password. Instructions are to use Mac install disc so i put in disc one and it was ready to install Lion. Problem is I have Snow Leopard10.6:Oops: (I bought a used Macbook so it was set up this way). I did not want to install Lion if that would mess up Snow Leopard. But this seems to be the only way I can reset my password. (So far it has not asked me for my administrator name, because I am not sure what that is either. I just have WAAAAY too many names and passwords i can't keep them all straight. Don't currently have free Apple support. Help please!

Purchase a copy of Snow Leopard from the on line Apple Store. Price is $19.95. With that you can reset your admin password.
