Reboot your Mac while holding down the Command key and R. Keep holding the key combination until the loading bar appears.
Once in the Recovery Mode, select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
If things just got a bit too geeky for you, don’t be alarmed. If you follow the next few steps, you’ll recover your lost admin password in no time.
Type “resetpassword” in the Terminal window and hit enter.
A welcoming graphical window will appear, allowing you to reset your admin password in a familiar way.
Select the storage device that contains the operating system.
Select the admin account.
Click on the Change Password button.
Enter a new password as well as a new password hint.
Save and restart from the main menu.

right after pressing Power, press Command+Option+R. If your OS X Version is above (i'd think Lion and above) youll be able to reinstall from there without disc.
