MacBook Pro password RECOVERY help needed

[Swampman]

My son died an accidental death almost a year ago.


His password on his now about 1.5 year old MacBook Pro has sentimental value to his mother and it would be nice if it would be possible to recover it.


The only help we have been able to get is getting it reset @ the Mac store but as I already said a recovery would be preferred if possible.

So what do we have to do to get this done?

Thanks all for your help!

It can't be done...

Its not stored anywhere, it is compared to a cypher that is derived from the Password.

Don't use the that link its completely wrong for what you asked. It will just reset the password.
