Bypass or delete password

[RUGGLES99]

stupidly, i set up a password to get into my mba running yosemite. is there a way to delete the password or bypass it. its also the password i use for iTunes etc etc if that means anything.

Boot holding cmd+r open terminal from the top bar and type resetpassword then hit enter. Follow the prompts

I have a similar question.

I just set up my new box which came with Yosemite pre-installed, and so it's linked to my iTunes account.

When I boot the computer I need to type in my iTunes password and when it wakes from sleep, but I'd rather use a different password than my iTunes password.

If I changed the password for my login will that change the password for my iTunes password as well? I just want to change the login password and keep my iTunes password as it is.

No it won't. Just go to the account in Users&Groups in System Prefs and change the password to whatever you want. That won't change your iTunes password.
