Reset Forgotten Admin Password OSX 10.10 Yosemite The passwords for all accounts on OSX 10.10 Yosemite, OSX 10.9 Mavericks and OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion including admin and standard user accounts can be reset and changed when booted from the Recovery Partition on OSX. Boot into Recovery Partition Reboot into the Recovery Drive by choosing the Apple menu Restart, hold down the command + r keys on the keyboard during the start up process when you see the start up screen you can let go. When the machine boots eventually you will see the OS X Utilities screen. Go to the Utilites menu and select Terminal At the prompt type resetpassword hit enter his launches the Reset Password screen, select the Volume Hard Drive in the top part of the window pane, then for the user that you need to reset select the user account in the lower part then add and confirm the new password and click save, you get a confirmation screen and details about the keychain account.
