How to reset the admin password for Mac OSX 10.5.8

I have a 2008 Macbook Leopard version of the Mac OSX 10.5.8. My DVD optical drive does not open, and I need to reset the admin password because we have forgotten what it is. Wondering if it is possible doing it at home some step by step process I am fine with deleting all the contents saved on the macbook as well.

Not without the optical drive. You would need to insert the install disc to reset the admin password.
But you may be able to do this in single user mode > 10.5: Reset a user's password in single user mode - Mac OS X Hints

There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Dear,
you can use Powershell to do this.
I've found a script in the script center which can do this.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/66a5b38f-cdf1-4126-aa0c-be65e16dd650/view/Discussions#content
Set-Password -computer 'server' -user 'Administratorlocal'
You can create a loop in powershell to check all your servers which you've posted in a .txt file for example.
$strcomputers = Get-Content c:\servers.txt
foreach ($strcomputer in $strcomputers)
$admin=[adsi]("WinNT://" + $strComputer + "/administratorlocal, user")
$admin.psbase.invoke("SetPassword", "Whatever1")

How to reset my admin password without a password

Hi, I forgot my admin password and can start my Macbook 13

With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
With 10.8.3 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
of actions, choose Terminal. When Terminal opens type:
resetpassword
and press enter.
You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case. Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box. Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset. Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

I forgot my admin password. Can anyone help me how can I reset the admin password?

Boot from your recovery partition 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 recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and 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.
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.

How to reset iTunes backup configuration for iPad and iPhone?

After buying a new Mac, I migrated my settings (because there were w a lot of apps) and generally everything's working. Except when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone, I get the following error:
iTunes could not backup the (device) ... because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad
A few notes
It does work with a new account, just not this one, so there's some setting somewhere that probably needs to go
I did repair disk permissions
I tried to reset preferences via mv *iTunes* to a backup folder in <user>/Library/Preferences
There are no backups on this machine (if you go to iTunes / Settings / Devices the "device backups" list is empty)
It still feels like something is pointing somewhere invalid, but I have no idea how to reset it.

The problem turned out to be a symlink to a folder that pointed nowhere where the backups were stored.
I seriously doubt many people are going to run into this issue, but hey, there you go, another thing to watch out for are symlinks if you transfer your settings to a new machine.
The reason before was that I was clearing out space on a SSD, and backups took up enough room.

How to reset my Admin Password?

Hi,
I bought a new Macbook Pro laptop yesterday running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 and had it been set up in store so when I got home it was ready to use. Did not have to set up anything!
Today I was trying to search for some videos on youtube and apparently i need the latest adobe flash player to play videos, which I have downloaded already but it asks for the admin password? Which i have no idea what it is? I think it has been set up in store and i wasn't told about it? I was told I can change it anytime but is it possible to change it without knowing the original password? And if so how can i do it?
Thanks a lot! x

You can change your password without knowing the old one. If your Apple ID was set on your Mac, you can try resetting your password with your Apple ID > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If it does not work, reset your password in OS X Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101
