If you've somehow locked yourself out of your Mac and can't remember the password, or you have recently purchased a used Mac from someone and don't know the password, don't fret. There is a way – actually, two ways – you can change the password without knowing the existing one. If you have your Installer Disk, use Option 1. If you don't have the disk, use Option 2.

Shut down your Mac. Hold Command + S as you press the Power button. This loads your Mac so you'll see a command line. Type in the lines below, exactly as shown. Hit Enter after each line.
/sbin/mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.Apple.DirectoryServices.plist
Next, type in the command below, but where it says 'username password' type in the name of the user, then a space, then the new password.
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Carz mac os. So, for example, mine is
dscl . -passwd /Users/Berry 7711gjk (username Berry, space, then password 7711gjk)
