-OSX-Making A New Admin Account if You Forgot Your Password

[aeria.]

This is a VERY OLD "hack" that still works today. Basically, we are going to get admin access to your Mac without having any install disk (or any password to an admin account in the first place). This is good if you're too stupid to remember your password.

Step 1: Boot your computer. Before you see the Apple logo, hold Command(Apple)+S. This brings you to single user mode.

Step 2: Stop panicking. It's supposed to be a black screen with white text.

Step 3: Type in /sbin/mount -uw /
Press Enter

Step 4: Type in rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
Press Enter

Step 5: Type in reboot
Press Enter

That's it! Now you can view the intro movie and go through the whole setup process AGAIN. While doing so, you can create a brand new admin account. Just don't rename it exactly the same as the old one. Doing so will erase everything that account had(in theory).

Have Fun! Don't abuse it...
