How do you change your administrator password on Apple?

Answer 1

What is the purpose of this question? There are many ways, all of them illegal if used to hack a computer. (see Computer Misuse Acts around the globe).

The general method is to boot the computer in single user mode, causing it to allow root access, which would allow you to change the password through UNIX command: passwd.

Note: This method will require a significant amount of experience in command-line systems..

Answer 2

Okay, so your on the screen where it shows you which account you want to log into, roll your mouse over the 3 buttons at the bottom of the window. When you find the one that says "restart", click on it. As your computer is restarting, hold "command-S"

(no shift). After a while when you computer screen goes black with white text scrolling, type:

1. fsck/mount/ -uw
2. passwd (account name)

Then it will ask you what you want your password to be, twice (it may look like it's not typing, but it is)

Finally, to exit type: reboot

And volia, your password is changed.

Answer 3

Log into your Mac and go into System Preferences. In the search bar, type in "password", and click on "Login name and Password". Then, click on the "Change Password" button and change your password! (You can also give a hint for your password, I think it is very usefull incase you forget.)

Answer 4

System preferences/ Accounts, but, you have to be logged in as an administrator to change anything.
