How to unlock a Mac

Have you ever forgotten your machine password and could not gain access?  There is a simple (but dangerous) way to Unlock Your Apple Mac Computer…

When you research this issue on the Internet, you will find the Apple Support Groups discussing a variety of ways to do this, whereby some are successful and some are not.

The correct, effective and Nerdcore computers service centre way to do this is by doing the following:
1) Turn the computer off.
2) Restart the computer and at the same time hold down the “Command and R Keys together”.  Keep holding them down (possibly for several minutes depending on the model of your MAC Computer and however long it takes to boot) until the “Apple Logo” appears.
3) You will then be at the Apple “Utility”.  BE VERY CAREFUL HERE, DOING SOMETHING WRONG NOW COULD PERMANENTLY ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER!  You could even erase the operating system which would prevent you from using the computer again without sending it into Apple for Repair.  However, under this circumstance,  ALL OF YOU DATA WOULD BE PERMANENTLY DELETED unless you had backed it up to an external hard drive using Apple’s Utility called “Time Machine” .
4) Go to the “Utility” option at the top left of your screen and select “Terminal”.
5) Terminal will give you a small dark (probably black) box with a line and a “colon” at the end with a flashing cursor.
6) Type “resetpassword” in one word , all lower case with NO spaces.
7) An option will appear which allows you to reset your password and asks you to type it twice.
8) Carefully choose and type in your password on both lines which requests it.  This time, WRITE IT DOWN in a small spiral notebook which you should have for all of your passwords and store it in a safe place so this does not happen again.
SUCCESS!

You have successfully reset your password on any MAC.
