[Ham-Mac] Forgotten Mac Password

[KK0DX]

If you start up your Mac from the CD that came with  your computer -  
hold down the "C" key as you're starting up.  Then, it may appear  
that you're going to install a new system, however, after you choose  
ENGLISH for the language, you'll have some options at the top of the  
screen as drop down menus.  You can then RESET the password.
Good Luck,
