So, I just obtained a Macbook from Craigslist. I spent most of yesterday setting it up, changing setting, installing applications, etc... What I totally failed to realize is that I don't have the password for the account! So, I took to Google. I discovered a way to create a new Admin account on boot via the terminal, which I did. So now I have my own account, with my own password.
Here's my question: Is it possible to import all the settings from the first account I was working under, into my new account I just created? I'd really hate to do all that work again...
Thank you in advance!

Or you could use that new admin account to change the password of the original account...

Why not just email/call the guy you bought it from to get your password?

you can also boot from the OS X CD and reset the account's password that way, or just nuke the whole install and start fresh. Do you really want the previous owner's stuff cluttering up your new Mac?
