Forgot your OS X password?

If you ever forget your password for OS X, it’s easy to reset. Simply boot off an Apple system CD (usually a grey disk) or a copy of OS X. When the installer loads, check the menus at the top of the screen for the ‘Reset Password‘ option (it’s located in different menus on different versions of the CDs). That will let you erase the password and start over.
