[QUOTE="Graeme43, post: 55464, member: 1904"] I read if you have the system disk, you can boot from that and reset the password from in there. Answer: Insert your Mac OS X installation CD into your computer's CD drive. Restart your computer. While your computer starts, hold down the C key . From the Installer menu, select Reset Password. Select the hard drive that contains the password you want to reset. From the Select a User of This Volume to Reset Their Password drop-down list, select the user account. In the Enter a New Password For This User text box, type a new password. In the Reenter the New Password For This User text box, type the new password again. Click the Save button. Click OK. Close all open windows. Restart your computer. Hold down the Option key while your computer restarts. [/QUOTE]
