I have forgotten my password!

A fairly common problem with an easy solution.

* Boot from the CD/DVD that came with your computer (or a generic OS X installer disc)

* Once past the initial screens, go up the menubar and find the item "Reset Password..."

* Select your internal drive, when it is presented.

* Select your user from the pop-up menu

* Enter a new password and click "Save".

A good visual walk-thru of these directions is available here:
