How do you change your password on your Macbook Pro?

Answer #1

As far as I understand you need to change your password on your MacBook Pro. I don’t know whether you are locked out of your computer though. Just let me know if you are, because that requires a different procedure.

Log in with an administrator account.

From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.

From the View menu choose Accounts.

Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.

Select the username whose password you want to change.

Click the Reset Password button (Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4) or the Change Password button (Mac OS X v10.5 or later).

Enter a new password in both the Password and Verify fields, and add a hint if desired.

Click the Reset Password button (Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4) or the Change Password button (Mac OS X v10.5 or later).

If a dialog box appears with the message “Your Keychain password will be changed to your new account password,” click OK.

I hope this was helpful :D
