How do you reset an admin password on a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion?

I forgot the admin password on my mac and I tried resetting it using the command+r technique at startup however a lock symbol appeared which requires a password to access.
Does anyone know how to reset the password without using a startup disc?

Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

Hi landonw
The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
{quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
What no BACKUP'
To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

How do I set up a VPN on a MacBook Pro that is running Mountain Lion?

Open System Preferences and choose Network. In the left column, click the "+" to add a new interface. In the dialog that appears, name the service and choose the interface type VPN. The rest of the configuration details depends on the VPN settings of the server you are connecting to.
Hope that helps.

TS1440 how do I reset my password on my macbook pro if I've forgotten my old password?

I have a relatively new (less than 6 months old) macbook pro. Somehow the password got screwed up when I tried to reset it. I can log into my macbook pro, but when I went to reset the password (so it would require it when I turned it on and after it went to sleep {I live in a house with 3 roommates and do this to avoid it being used as a public computer} as well as needing it to do updates or install new software) I don't have the old password, so it won't let me set a new password. I'm not super technical, but I can follow instructions.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To reset the password, first try to reset it with your Apple ID following the steps of this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If it doesn't work, reset it using OS X Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101

Can my MacBook Pro run Mountain Lion

I bought my Macbook Pro 6/2007. I am running Snow Lep. and want to know if I can up grade to Mountain Lion. When I had my machine in for repair in the spring a tec person said no, but a month ago a tec rep without seeing my laptop said yes. How can I tell for sure? Do I need to take it in again?

See Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Apple says: MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Click your Apple menu icon. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
You may want to upgrade the RAM if there is less than 4GB installed before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
And check to see if you have apps installed that may not run on Mountain Lion > App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS

but is there any way to completely disable this thing?
its my computer and i want to do whatever i wish and i know what i am doing, is there a way?

You may have one of the 2010 models with the 'bad' GPU - see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
If so, it should be fixed for nothing. Read the Knowledge Base article and call support to schedule a time that you can take your machine in and have it diagnosed.
Good luck,
