I was thinking the exact same thing.  As anyone could just boot the system and 
then hit command+R.  I mean, surely there has to be some way to prevent just 
anyone getting ahold of your mac and trying this little trick.

  I hope this isn’t a silly question, but does this mean anyone could just 
overwrite the Mac’s log in password?  That doesn’t sound very secure.


  Thank you,

    Hi,


    You can usually use the Application Chooser to navigate these panels.  
VO-f1-f1, down to the app then right and down to the specific window.  
Occasionally, you may need to click the physical mouse to get focus into 
non-responding areas.


    Later...

    If the user is an admin on the machine then you can reset the password

    I’ve done this a number of times but the problem I did have is when the 
reset password screan goes to the back of the open windows and then I required 
sighted assistance to bring it forward in to focus.

    Hello ET, and sounds like a complete reinstall is in order for his Mac I'm 
not for sure about another way to reset the password or username for that 
matter and less he gets added assistance once he's booted into terminal.
