Reset your lost OS X password


Reset your lost OS X password

If you've ever forgotten your user account password in OS X, the Hackszine weblog details the simple process of resetting or changing your password. All you need is to remember your username (you do remember that, right?) and then reboot your computer. From there it's command line work:

  • Hold Apple+S when booting to enter single user mode
  • #sh /etc/rc
  • #passwd yourusername
  • #reboot

The only major downside to resetting your password this way is that you'll lose all keychain passwords, but if you've really forgotten your password, it's better than nothing. Windows users, you can also reset a lost or forgotten password. If you feel more adventurous, you can also completely crack the password.
