Release the keys when you see Apple logo and progress bar on the screen. Shutdown your iMac or Macbook, Mac mini and turn it On again and press the Command + R keys simultaneously from keyboard.Let’s see how to reset if you forgot Mac password. In this trick we are using Mac OS X built-in Terminal utility in recovery mode to reset password of any OS X account. I have tested this method on OS X Yosemite and not sure if this will work on other OS X versions, but you can check our previous guide to reset Mac password without disc if this one does not work for you. You can reset Mac password without entering your exiting password, just get into Mac OS X recovery mode and use the Terminal Utility to reset password.


Did you forget your Mac password? Don’t panic and you don’t need to reinstall OS X.
