From Mac OS X The Missing Manual by David Pogue Page 340 "The Case of the Forgotten Password" "Insert the Jaguar CD and restart the computer while holding down the C key so the Mac starts up from the CD and launches the Mac OS X installer. On the first installer screen, choose Installer->Reset Password. Then the Reset Password screen appears, click the hard drive that contains Mac OS X. From the first pop-up menu, choose the name of your account. Now make up a new password and type it into both boxes. Click Save, close the window, click the installer and restart. Next time, be more careful! Write down your password on a Post-it notre and affix it to your monitor.
