I suppose you have a l&te 2010 Macbook Air... - Plug the Macbook Air to a power outlet
- Plug the Macbook Air USB software reinstall drive that came with your Mac (in the little black cardbox) in any USB port - After the initial screen, go to "Utilities" in the menu bar and then choose "Reset Password" - Follow up the process and you should be OK.
Hope this will help. Cheers.

How do i bypass macbook air master password without a disk

Maybe the owner's manual might make reference to some sort of reset option. If the password is a simple 4 digit code, then guess it. Most peoples' passwords have something to do with the person who set the password, I.e. a nickname, name of a family pet, anniversary date, etc.
