Hi Michael,

Please follow the steps below:

  1. Insert the bootable DVD into the Mac and restart or start the computer
  2. Boot the disk by holding down the “C” key at system start
  3. Select your language preferences and then under the “Utilities” menu select “Password Reset” (it may say “Reset Password” instead, depends on the version of Mac OS X)
  4. Select the hard disk that the forgotten password is on, then select the username of the forgotten password, you’ll then be asked to select a new password
  5. Reboot as usual from the hard drive, using your newly reset password as the login!

Let me know if this helps
