MAC Admin Hack

Here’s how to create an admin account without knowing the current administrator password.
This is nothing new to people familiar with unix, and can’t really be classified as a “hack”, but it’s an easy way to make an admin account without a password. This particular method is used if you, for some reason, can’t get into your account at all, for example: you lost MAC Admin password and you account is protected with FileVault. This process basically forces your computer to re-run setup, which is what you see when you setup a new Mac.
This process will take about 5-10 minutes. If you have a password, or WEP code for your network or internet, be sure to have that at hand.
