How do I reset my password?

I stupidly thought my admin account either didn't have a password or still had my mother's (because it was her's before mine) so I logged out and went to the guest account so that I can at least attempt at focusing on writing my stories. Now, I forgot my password, I don't have a hint for it and my psychological well-being is going straight to where all the crazies go. I heard that I can reset my password with my AppleID, but the directions confuse me and so do any other directions provided by the computer. Someone help please.

  • HT1310 how do I reset my password if I don't know it ?

    how do I reset my password if I don't know it ?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • My daughter can not remember her ipad password. Went into itunes to reset her password and it wants a password which we do not have!!!!!  How do we reset a password for her ipad?

    Have a disabled ipad due to my daughter can not remember her password.  Went into itunes to reset password and it says we need a password....which we do not have.  How do we reset her password?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  If you have IOS-7, read this.
