Dear Sir,
Welcome to Fixya Support

Resetting Your Password You can reset your administrator password and passwords for all other accounts. To reset your password, using a partner computer and Remote Install Mac OS X:
1 Follow the procedure for using Remote Install Mac OS X
To use Remote Install Mac OS X: 1. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 into the optical disc drive of the other computer. 2 .If the other computer is a Mac, open /Applications/Utilities/Remote Install Mac OS X. On Windows, choose "Remote Install Mac OS X" from the Install Assistant. 3. Read the introduction and click Continue. 4 .Choose the install disc you want to use, and click Continue. 5. Choose a network connection: AirPort, if you are using an AirPort network, or Ethernet, if the other computer is on an Ethernet network and you have an optional Apple USB Ethernet Adapter connecting your MacBook Air to the same network. Click Continue. 6 .Restart your MacBook Air and hold down the Option key as it starts up, until you see a list of available startup disks. 8. If you chose AirPort as your network in step 5, on your MacBook Air choose your AirPort network from the pop-up list. If the network is secure, you are prompted for a password. You can enter a private network name by choosing the ellipsis (...) and typing the name. 9. If you chose AirPort as your network in step 5, when you see the AirPort status icon indicating signal strength, click Continue in Remote Install Mac OS X.
10. Click Continue in Remote Install Mac OS X. 11. On your MacBook Air, choose Utilities > Reset Password from the menu bar and follow the onscreen instructions. When you finish, quit Mac OS X Installer. 12. On the other computer, click Quit to exit Remote Install Mac OS X.

I think it helps.Let Me know.

Password for my macboor air

Sadly enough there's no other way to get back into your installation. If you need to backup your data, either boot into windows with the bootcamp drivers installed or take out your hard drive and plug it into a pc. Once you have a backup completely shut down your macbook and plug it in. Press and hold CMD+R and turn the Macbook on, it should now boot into recovery, where you can format and reinstall OS X.

Forgot my password of my apple macbook air a1237

if the password is set on the firmware level you will need to take it to the apple store.
if you have the restore usb stick you can boot off it by holding the d key when you power on your mac.
after it starts up from the usb stick you will go to utilities at the top and click reset password.
