MACBOOK AIR Password Reset (Tested Ko Po ito)
Don’t worry, it happens and you aren’t out of luck. You’ll need to reset the forgotten password and there’s several ways to do this, we’ll focus on the two best methods; one does not require a Mac OS X installer CD and is a great hack, and the other is much more simple if you happen to have a Mac OS X DVD laying around.
Restart the Mac holding down the Command+S+Power keys, this will take you into Single User Mode and it’s Terminal interface
You’ll need to check the filesystem first:
fsck -fy
Next, you must mount the root drive as writeable so that changes will save:
mount -uw /
Now, type the following command exactly, followed by the enter key:
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
After removing the applesetupdone file, you need to reboot, type ‘reboot’ and hit enter
You aren’t finished, but the hard part is now over – no more command lines, you’ll now be in the familiar Mac OS X GUI to finish the password reset process. In this step we just create a new user account as if you just got a new Mac:
Upon reboot, you will be presented with the traditional “Welcome Wizard†startup screen just like when you first get a Mac
Follow the welcome wizard and create a new user account – making the account name different from the account whose password you want to recover
Continue on and boot into Mac OS X with this newly created user account, this new user account is an Administrator and has administrative access.
You are almost done, now you just need to reset the forgotten user account password using the Accounts control panel:
Once you are booted into Mac OS X, click on the Apple logo and then navigate down to “System Preferencesâ€
Click on the “Accounts†icon in System Preferences
Click on the Lock icon in the lower left corner of the “Accounts†preference window and enter the newly created user credentials, this enables you to change other user accounts and reset other users passwords
On the left side user panel, select the user account containing the forgotten password
With the user of the forgotten password account selected, click on the “Reset Password†button
Enter a new password for that user, be sure to include a meaningful hint so you don’t forget it again!
Close System Preferences and reboot the Mac
You can now login to the previously inaccessible user account using the newly reset password! All user files and settings are maintained as before the password was forgotten.
