No, not unless you need to. Why you would need to ‘Change' or ‘Reset' your Administrator password? A) If you thought someone had got knowledge of what your Password is. Or B) You can’t remember the Password You can ‘Change the Password’ that you use to log in to your Mac, or ‘Reset the Password’ if you don't remember it. The password of your OS X User Account is also known as your login password. It's the password that you use to log in to your Mac and make certain changes, such as installing software. > > Pat Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage macOS Sierra 10.12
