For Mac users: is there a way to change your password without knowing your old one.?

Question

ok so i have an issue with my mac. I forgot my password and i dont know how to change it becuase it requires you to have your old password as well. Can you get the Apple company to send you your password like on an email or do you have to do something else. Please help want full control of my computer again!!!

Answer 1

Sorry Maddy but the password is stored on your computer and yours alone. Like any other computer PCs included if you forget the password to gain acces, you are screwed.
