Before you start this is what you should know about this procedure.
What your about to do is delete a folder called AppleSetupDone.
By removing this folder it will fool the system into thinking it has not yet completed the setup of creating a new user, so after the reset it will start asking you for your details, just like as if its the first time its running.
Will you loose you files? To avoid confict you should create a unique account and not one of the same name as the system had previously.
Once the new account has been created to get to the documents you have to goto the users folder and change permissions of the folder to get acess to it.
Ive only tested this using Mac OSX, i would assume it would work on any system thats running OSX.
Here goes, first you need to enter terminal mode
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key (or command) + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account.
As not to loose files the new admin account must be a new name and not one previously used. I've only tested this on osX.
