[Hidden-tech] retrieve MacBook Pro password for installng printer

[Kelly Albrecht]

If "there is no password" and pressing enter at the password prompt doesn't get you in, you need to boot from an install disk and reset the password, or do it from Single user mode with the passwd command.

Doing this will break their Keychain if they don't know their keychain password, and they will need to reset it and start over saving passwords.
