Learn how to change or reset an account password in Mac OS X, including the original administrator account password. You might need to do this, for example, when someone has lost or forgotten his or her account password.

Tip: If you forget your login password and your home folder is protected by FileVault, seeI forgot the password to my encrypted home folderhttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1909.html





Resetting a user's password in Mac OS X v10.3 or later
Note: For information about resetting a password in Mac OS X v10.2.8 or earlier, see the Additional Information section below.

  1. Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
  2. From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
  3. From the View menu choose Accounts.
  4. Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
  5. Select the username whose password you want to change.
  6. Click the Reset Password button (Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4) or the Change Password button (Mac OS X v10.5 or later).
  7. Enter a new password in both the Password and Verify fields, and add a hint if desired.
  8. Click the Reset Password button (Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4) or the Change Password button (Mac OS X v10.5 or later).
  9. If a dialog box appears with the message "Your Keychain password will be changed to your new account password," click OK.
Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.

How i reset apple macbook air 4 digit pin code

Hello:
1) What model and what year is your Macbook Pro?

2) What country are you in?

3) Is your Macbook still under warranty? That is, can you call Apple or send it to Apple for repair if you have to? Because on some Macbook Pros, only Apple can reset the EFI PIN

I have a mac air and I am having volume problem. When I attempt to adjust the volume I get a circle with a line over it. Also I can no longer watch video since this problem occur. The video would load play...

The problem is that the headphone jack for you Macbook Air is a copy Analog (standard headphones) and Optical (toslink) jack. The jack has a small microswitch that detects when the cable inserted into the jack is a metal analog connector or a fiber optic toslink cable. The reason your seeing the "NOT ALLOWED" sign (circle with a slash through it) is because you cannot not adjust the volume on the sound when the output is in DIGITAL MODE. To verify this, drop down the jack cover on the side of your macbook air and place your index directly in-front of the headphone jack about 1/2" away from it. Is you finger glowing red? That's because the fiber optic LED is turned on and Mac OS X thinks that there is a toslink cable inserted into the jack.
This is a known hardware problem with that type of combo-jack and affects a lot of other Macbooks, as well.
If your Macbook Air is still covered by Apple Care, take it into an Apple store and have them replace the jack. I know this is a pain, but it is the correct answer.
If your Macbook Air is NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, you can attempt to fix this yourself, but be warned, you could break stuff!
Here is a thread at the Apple support forums discussing this issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3255575
The above link is good background reading and will help you understand the issue further. The short answer is that many people have inserted a toothpick (other similarly sized NON METAL object) into the headphone jack, wiggled around until the microswitch is clicked off, then normal audio resumes. My 2009 Macbook Pro 17" has the same issue, but I have found that I can take a regular pair of headphones, insert the jack, wiggle it, remove it, reinsert, remove it....and repeat this process until the switch gets toggled. It's annoying, but I have to do this until I get home and can send it back to Apple for warranty work.

DEAR SIR, I FORGET MY ADMINISTRATOR PASSWARD WITH MACBOOK AIR AND I HAVE NOT CD ALSO PLEASE TELL HOW I CAN BREAK MY ADMINISTRATOR PASSWARD THANKS

You cannot break apple's security as simply as windows. It would mean getting a unix boot cd, and logging in as root (if the apple lets you) and trying to unlock the OSX account... not easy.
Just go get a snow leopard DVD from apple for £29 ($49) and enjoy a decent OS...
