Try creating a new Admin on Mac Os X:
Here's how to reset your OS X password without an OS X CD.
the Working solution for me was to create a new admin account then you can delete the old one.
you can create new admin like this by deleting a specific file.

1.REBOOT
2. type COMMAND + S (AFTER YOU HEAR THE CHIME)
3.AFTER TEXT PROMPT ENTER THESE TERMINAL COMMANDS (PRESS ENTER AFTER EACH LINE)


mount -w /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now

****make sure to use spaces and capital letters EXACTLY as shown in the terminal commands above****

IT will not WORK if you don't type it EXACTLY like this

Good Luck
