[TuT] Resetting MAC OSX Password - thehappydino - Dec 21, 2015
Hey guys,
I had a few friends get locked out of their Mac, here's how to fix it.
1. Boot into the Recovery drive
Hold CMD + R
2. Choose Utilities
3. Open Terminal
Code
resetpassword4. Reboot the Mac as usual

would this still allow them to access all their old documents or it asks them for their previous passwords?

It will leave everything unchanged except the password.
