[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1651558, member: 234411"] Hello - sorry for your problem. Mavericks (OS X 10.9.x) can only be downloaded and does not come w/ discs; when installed on a computer, a recovery partition is created which may help to regain password control. This [URL="https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14325?locale=en_US"]Apple Support Article[/URL] explains some ways to recover from a lost password - now whether applicable to your situation depends on how your computer is setup, so give it a first read. If not useful, then take a look at this [URL="http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/reset-forgotten-admin-password-mac-osx/"]DISCUSSION[/URL] - not sure how computer savvy you may be? So, if uncomfortable w/ some of the steps, you may need help from Apple support. Hopefully, others will 'chime in' w/ more advice, but forgetting your 'admin' & 'user' passwords is just not a good thing to do - good luck. Dave :) P.S. I have had no need to try to recover my password on my Macs, so have no experience w/ the latter link given. [/QUOTE]
