Is there any way to remove password from apple laptop?
I bought an apple laptop but the owner forgot to remove the password and i cant get a hold of him. So whenever i open it, it asks me for a user password. Is there any way to remove it or change it or something?

usually with most pc's (not sure about laptops) if you open it up and remove the battery (not the big battery, the one that keeps the time its small like a watch battery, it may be called cmos battery) for 3 minutes then it also removes the password. worth a shot.

If you got the original System Reinstall CD with the computer or if you can borrow the CD from someone else that has the same computer, you can use Disk Utility to erase and reinstall the system. You would lose any programs that were installed separately such as MS Office.

I guess we'll have to take your word for it that you bought it without the owner telling you the password and that you didn't steal it. Here's how you reset the password: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080414140636495
