Read the detailed section of this article for step-by-step instructions on regaining access to your root account.
Here are the steps to retrieve access to root:
1. Click Restart at the login window
2. While the computer is restarting, hold down “Command-S” until you see text scrolling through the window. This boots the computer into single user mode.
3. At the Localhost% prompt type:
/sbin/mount -uw /
/sbin/SystemStarter
You will then see various services starting up.
4. When the Localhost% prompt reappears, type:
passwd root
It will then ask you to type the new root password twice, so do so.
5. After entering the new password, type:
reboot
At the login window, enter username root wih the new password. Once you are connected, you can use the Multiple Users application (/Applications/Utilities) to change your normal user’s password, or create a new user account.

For most mac computers you can boot to the OS install disc and run reset password from the utilities menu. If the person you bought the unit from did not include the discs you can call apple care and order a new copy of the install discs.

Ask the original owner or the person you bought it from for the password.
