The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.

Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
Mac Os Versions
netinfod -s local
Mac Os Mojave
Now you'll need that short name. Enter 'passwd', a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called 'imadmin', you would enter 'passwd imadmin'.
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for 'lmadmin' (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.
Another Terminal Method for Snow Leopard
Reboot the computer and hold the COMMAND and S keys down to enter single user mode. (If a lock appears and a password request, there is a firmware password. You have to know it or take it to Apple.)

message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
ls /Users
passwd username
Enter the new password twice. It will not be echoed.
