Forgot username and password on MacBook Pro

[daniyar07]

I have a MacBook Pro 2008. Unfortunately I forgot my username and password in my Mac, so I can't create or delete any files. Is it possibe to do something with it, or I have to reload the new OS?

Unless you happen to have FileVault enabled, resetting the password is quite straightforward: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274

Don't forget to reset the keychain afterwards

Sure.........!

Jedimeister... i think they call that aiding and abetting !

The OP still needs the discs to reset, and any search online will probably reveal alternate methods...

I have my FireVault disabled.

Just be careful with this method, someone i know screwed there mac up + the keychain from doing this method.

You need to make sure you create the new account with a different user name to your old account.
