The instructions for previous versions of the Mac OS won't work with 10.7.
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” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.

Click the “Change Password” button and follow the prompts.

    How to reset security questions if I forgot original answers to security questions?

    @ haiduc - 
    1. Starting a new query ..
    Select appropriate Board (Selecting 'E series and communicators' as far as the device goes..but more apt will be the 'Hardware' Board under 'Tips and Troubleshooting' in this particular case..) and then select 'New Message' ..
    2. The security code needs to be reset to the default 12345 which can only be done by Nokia Care in your region. A proof of ownership (Bill / Invoice) may be asked.

  • HT201412 I have forgotten my Security password, My iPad not starting, how to reset security password

    I have forgotten my security code, Ipad not starting , how to reset security code

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
