Reboot into single user mode. (Hold down Apple-S while you reboot until you see the text-mode boot messages.) Mount the file system with this command /sbin/mount -uaw Remove the hidden file that OS X creates when you do the initial setup. It's in /var/db and it's called.AppleSetupDone (note the beginning period). rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone Reboot by typing "reboot" at the prompt. When you Mac comes up, create new account-it will automatically have system administrator privilege. Create an account that doesn't already exist on your machine to avoid overwriting anything else in your existing accounts. I named mine bozo for obvious reasons. Log into the new account, reset the system admin privileges on your real account, and you're in. You can delete the new account if you like, but you might want to keep it around-with a password you can remember-for emergencies. I also recommend setting the master password. You can use it to log into accounts that you've forgotten the password to.
