    1. Reboot
    2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s keys on newer Macs)
    3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):

    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now

    4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and your good to go after this!

    ^ that is awesome info for those of us who forget their passwords from time to time.. but sucks because it makes having a password almost useless. thanks for the info, incase i ever forget my password again.
