Today, my friend forgot her OSX password and even i am not a OSX user, I am UNIX user so reseting password were not difficult . In order to reset your user password;

1. Reboot
2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
   • mount -uw /
   • rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
   • shutdown -h now
4. Reboot

Or you can just type "password username" and change your user’s password after mounting "/"
