Resetting a password in Mac OS X requires the system restore disc or a retail Mac OS X disc (referred to in this page as simply 'system disc'). It is recommended that you use the same version of Mac OS X that is currently installed on the system. To reset the password: - insert the system disc into the CD/DVD drive, then restart the Mac. - Hold the 'C' key down right after the startup chime. - When the system comes up, select your language, then proceed to the next page - Select the Utilities menu (at top), select 'Reset Password" utility. - In the Reset Password utility, select the boot drive (usually 'Macintosh HD'), then select the user account whose password you want to reset. - Type in the new password twice, then select 'Save'. - Restart the Mac - your new password should be in place!

Open System Preferences. (It's in the system menu and may also be in the Dock.)

Go to the "Users & Groups" page.

Select the user whose password you want to change. You might have to click on the lock to make changes first.

In the Password tab, click the Change Password button.

Enter the old password, then the new password twice.
