When it comes to naming the most popular brands of computers in the world, Apple is the name that is the undisputed leader in the hardware industry. Apple Mac is one of the top selling models in the world and users need to be aware of the fact that they are different from other brands. While working with Mac OS, an administrator password is required, without which you cannot do absolutely anything on the machine.

In case you forget the password or do not have access to it due to any other reason, it has to be unlocked and reset. While you can try the same with a series of steps, Apple customer support may also be required for the same. If you try to unlock and reset the Apple Mac Book password, you will first have to change the admin password and then change the keychain login too.

Here are the steps that would be required for the same:

Resetting the Admin Password in OS X:

• Start by having the Mac OX disc, which you would have got with your computer and in case you do not have it, get another one from the company by placing a call at (800) SOS-APPL. Insert it into the optical drive.

• Now restart your computer and hold down the ‘C’ key for a while. You will get a menu called ‘Installer’ or ‘Utilities’, depending upon the OS X version being used by you. Now select ‘Reset Password’.

• From the volumes available, select ‘Macintosh HD’.  Select the name of original admin account from the drop down menu, but don’t select the ‘System Administrator’.

• Now select a fresh new password and enter the same n the two fields, followed by clicking ‘Save’.

Resetting Keychain Password in OS X :

• Access the ‘Go’ menu from the Finder. Next, select ‘Utilities’ and then scroll down to find ‘Keychain Access’ and double click it.

• From ‘Edit’ menu, select ‘Keychain List’.

• After highlighting the ‘login’ keychain, delete it. Now you will be able to save a new password the next time you log in to the account.
