Step 1: Turn off your Mac.
Step 2: Boot while holding COMMAND + S

Step 4: When it stops doing its thing and allows you to type, type this and press enter:
Step 5: Type this and replace <user> with the EXACT name of the user you're trying to change the pass to:
Step 6: Type "reboot" and wait.
You can now login with the password you set. Easy huh?
