Go ahead and close the Terminal window – we won’t need that anymore. A new window titled “Reset Password” should appear. Type “resetpassword” and hit return on the keyboard. There should now be a prompt that says –bash-3.2# or something similar. Once booted to the recovery partition go to “Utilities” in the top menu and select “Terminal”. Select your Recovery HD and click on the arrow beneath it. Next we should see at least 2 drive options. In order to get to the Reset Password application in 10.7 or 10.8 we will need to boot to the recovery partition by holding down the “Option” key at startup. In 10.7 and 10.8 Apple has removed this option from the menu, however there is an alternative way to get to it. In OS X versions 10.6 and earlier we would just boot to the installation disk, go to Utilities, and open the Reset Password application. Forget that new super secure password you just created?īreathe easy, there is a simple fix.
