Yesterday while sipping our evening tea, my roommate came to me with the problem "I have Forgotten my Administrative Password ". The device in use was MAC pro note book loaded with Mac OS. Frankly speaking I have never worked on Apple before, only had it as a staple fruit diet. ;). However itook upon myself the challenge of resetting the Administrative password. given below are the steps followed.
Step 1 Reboot your Mac. As soon as you hear the loading jingle, Press Apple key and 's'(or Command+s key)
Step 2 When you get the text/command prompt, type following using all the spaces correctly one by one
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
Step 3 restart and you will be prompted for setting up your account. follow those steps and you have got a new administrative account.
Only problem faced was that either you should have the Apple id handy or reregister again.
Happy hunting
