Hey, I just lost my pass in my mac notebook. Yey. Usually I would just use my OS X install disc to reset my password or use the "other" hacking methods found on google; but my OS X pass is also my AIM and hotmail pass >.>
I know people say not to use the same pass for different things but I can't afford to remember ten different passes. So, is there a way to find out your mac's current admin pass without actually knowing it? Can I just boot the comp up in single-user and type some funky command to do this? Plz guys, I'm really desperate and I got a lot of contacts in AIM and hotmail I would not want to lose.
 
Hmmn, so itys not that you don;t knwo how to reset the admin pass, its that you need to know what the pass is as its also your IM pass.

How about resetting the admin pass to get into the mac then using the password reset options that i guess are available in aim/msn?
