how to reset admin password in os x yosemite?

Hi,

I just bought my macbook pro 3 days ago and I forgot what's my admin password

Maybe im just too excited to set it up that i forgot what my admin password is. I can access my laptop completely im just having problems with installing downloaded apps, also with changing setting on System Preferences.

Please heeelppp!

OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks and 10.10 Yosemite

Reset Password

Start the computer,then press and hold down command and R keys to start into recovery partition.

When you see the Apple logo, release the keys.

Wait until  OS X Utilities window shows up.

Move the mouse to the menubar at the top and click "Utilities", then select "Terminal"

from the drop down.

Terminal window will appear.

Type in   resetpassword   and press enter on the keyboard.

Leave the Terminal window open.

Reset Password Utility window will open with Macintosh HD selected.

Select the user account from the popup menu box under “Select user account”.

Enter a new password.

Reenter the new password for the user.

Enter a hint.

Click the "Save" button.

Click  in the menubar and select Restart.

Log in.

If Keychain dialog box appears, select “Create New Keychain”.

I am trying to reset a password thanks to a busy two-year old! When I hold down command R in to the recovery partition the passworld utility tool is blank. No Macintosh HD to select? Any Ideas?

Thanks!

verify disk/run firstaid or hardware failure possibly

Wow! thanks very much. This was super easy and fun. It worked for me so thanks very much
