Resetting login & password

I have a 2006 MacBook Pro OS X. I no longer have the startup cd. I have not used the computer since early 2010 due to a broken display. I recently hooked it up to a non apple monitor and have forgotten my login and password. How do I go about creating a new one w/ out the cd?

Wow.  You are making many of us strain our brains.  10.3...  Time to upgrade.
So yes, the CD should allow for password recovery.  This is the days of NetInfo (how I miss it so).  You are actually able to reset the password using Single User mode and a bit of terminal magic.  Follow these steps if you don't have the disk.
1:  Boot into Single User Mode by holding down Apple - S on startup.
2: Mount the file system so you can write to it with this command:
          mount -uw /
3: Next start the NetInfo subsystem by typing the following command:
          /sbin/SystemStarter
4: You will see a bunch of messages go by.  Eventually the logging will stop but you will not get a command prompt.  When the messages stop, simply hit the Return key.  This will drop you out of the previous command and present you with a command prompt.  The last line I think states System Started.
5: If you know the short name of the user type this command to reset the password, replacing shortname with the user's shortname:
          passwd shortname
6: You will be prompted to enter a password.  The input is shadowed so type carefully.
7: You must confirm the password.
8: When finished, type reboot to reboot the system.

  • Problems resetting login password

    I have apparently forgotten my login password for my Mac Air.  When following the instructions to reset my password using my Apple ID, step 2 says "In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.", however, there is no question mark in the password field, so, my attempts to reset my password have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should do or try?

    very strange. this should have worked. try doing it from single user mode then.
    restart and hold command+S at the chime. you'll see a black screen with white text. at the prompt enter
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    next enter
    passwd username
    where username is the short name of the admin user. enter new password for that user when prompted for it. when done enter
    reboot

  • Resetting login password on OS X Server 10.3

    I need to reset a password on a OS X server 10.3, so I can log into it. Is it the same as when you want to do a password reset on a MacBook, Mac mini etc.. where you boot off the cd and use the password reset utility? I have no idea what the admin password is, so that is why I need to do it.

  • How do I reset my forgotten Mac Book Pro login password ?

    The "help" on my MacBook Pro insists I can change my forgotten login password by using my apple Id and password, by simply hitting the arrow beside the login password box. It appears after a failed attempt to enter your password at Login, however the drop down menu does not appear. The whole box shakes and that is all. In other places such as security and privacy all attempts are blocked , because I am asked to enter my (forgotten) password.
    Please advise, kind apple lovers.

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, 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.

  • When trying to reset my login / password, text in red says not connected to internet please verify connection, when the macbook air IS connected to wifi.

    You don't need to be connected to the Internet to reset the password.
    Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
    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.

    How did you change your user name?
    resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.
