Post Lost admin password
A friend of my Dad has inherited a MacBook but the person he got it from has forgotten the admin password and there is no hint set up.

Is there any way of getting around this?

I'm guessing there is something on the install disc?

Thanks

Oliver

IIRC, you can use the install disk to change the admin password
