Reset MAC OS X password without an OS X CD

It is easy to reset your password just by popping in the OS X CD that came with your computer and reset the password. Same as easy if that CD is not around as well.

Here is how to reset your OS X password without an OS X CD. You need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:

1. Reboot
2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):

  • mount -uw /
  • rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
  • shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you're good to go again.
