Forgot Dmg Password

I password protected a.dmg file ages ago and stupidly forgot the password but I know some of the numbers that could be in the password and I know of some words that could be in the password. Are there any programs that could crack the password for me? For example a bruteforce program (for mac). To reset a gateway to factory defaults using the serial port take the following steps: Connect to the gateway via the serial port using a null modem cable and press enter until you see the PIMG prompt appear. At the prompt type the ' reset ' command and press enter. When you are asked to validate your request type the 'yes' or 'no' response.

The reset password functionality resets the login password, but not the keychain password -- something that many people don't seem to understand. Making it a bit harder to reset the password isn't a bad idea.

Actually, another method also does work. Boot into the Recovery mode, and from Terminal:
# rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
# reboot
This will take allow you to create a fresh account with admin privs, from which you can then easily reset anyone's password.

Use this command from single usermode to use dscl:
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist

There is also an option in your user preferences to allow your Apple ID to reset your password.

Wait, this is on Terminal from a Lion restore partition?
What is to stop anyone accessing this?

What's to stop anyone to booting into Single User Mode and resetting passwords, either in Lion or in any other version of OS X...or Linux...or BSD...or any other *nix OS?
The oldest security adage in the world applies here: If someone has physical access to your machine, there is no security.

A firmware password.

It is very simple to defeat a firmware password.

I know.
But ssssshhhhhhhh...

So's I'm still hanging onto Tiger, which I still love. It still does some things that throw me.
So yesterday I went to create a new account for a friend and the bugger created a new acccount password for me. Has done this twice in the past.
needless to say Tiger has once again locked me out.
Big problem is the optical drive has taken a beating and I can't use her to reset my password via
diskutlity.
Hence I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to get back to my things.
PS: I Have the Administrator account. Can still get in . But all of my files are locked out. Can I get at my user account without my optical drive? Say MP3? I have the disks. Can I make Control C work for that drive? Please let me know. FML!

You can get permanent easy access to the two Apple password utilities in the Recovery HD, if you have followed an earlier hint here about how to ad the Debug menu to the Disk utility and have then enabled the Show Every Partition in the Disk Utility.
If you did that already, all you have to do is to open the Disk Utility, select the Recovery HD, click on Mount it, double-click on the mounted Recovery HD, switch to show invisible files as well (use the terminal or any of the countless little apps to do this - I use HideSwitch), open the folder com.apple.recovery.boot on the Recovery HD, double-click on the BaseSystem.dmg image. In the mounted image, open the Applications folder and then the Utilities folder. There you'll find the two password utilities. You can then copy them to your utilities folder or anywhere you like to have easy access to them in the future.
I suggest to refrain from making any changes to the Recovery HD and to unmount it after you copied the two files.

In single user mode, running 'dscl .' gives this message…
launchctl: Couldn't stat ('/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist:): No such file or directory.
DirectoryServices is dead! Long live opendirectoryd!
After running this,
:/ root# launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist
then dscl can be used to chance passwords in the usual way…
:/ root# dscl . -passwd /Users/jeeves

I was able to change the password and log in using the new password. But after that, OS X locked up and showed a dialog about entering the keychain password (the old login password). Unless there's some way around it, this method is pretty much useless...

Never mind. I tried it a second time and was just able to cancel all of those Keychain dialogs.

The other method of removing /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and creating a new admin account still seems to work as well.

It seems this only works when booted to the recovery partition. If you use the Terminal just for fun while booted 'normally', it returns
'-bash: resetpassword: command not found'
Does this mean the recovery partition has a different set of commands or a different shell?

Evidently, the Recovery HD contains this supplementary app. Typing 'resetpassword' in Terminal invokes a popup gui window that makes the password reset clear and clean.
Whoa! This is so nifty that physical access is too much access for distrusted parties. This was truly a teachable moment.

Before you begin

Make sure that your Mac is connected to the internet and using macOS Catalina or later. If using an earlier macOS, follow the password-reset steps for macOS Mojave or earlier.

Choose a reset option from the login window

To see one of the following password-reset options, click the question mark next to the password field in the login window. If you don't see a question mark, enter any password three times.

If you see the option to reset using your Apple ID

Click the option to reset using your Apple ID, then proceed as follows:
- If your Mac restarts, skip to the next section, “If you see the option to restart and show password options.”
- If your Mac doesn't restart, but immediately asks for your Apple ID credentials, enter that information and click Reset Password.
If you're asked to create a new keychain to store the user's passwords, click OK to restart your Mac.
If you're asked to select an admin user you know the password for, click “Forgot all passwords?”.
If you see a Reset Password window with the option to Deactivate Mac, click Deactivate Mac, then click Deactivate to confirm.
Enter your new password information, then click Next.
If this window shows multiple user accounts, click the Set Password button next to each account name, then enter the new password information for each account.
When the password reset is completed, click Restart.

If you see the option to restart and show password options

Click the option to restart and show password reset options, then wait for your Mac to restart.
You're then asked to take one of these steps:
- Sign in with your Apple ID. You might also be asked to enter the verification code sent to your other devices.
- Enter your FileVault recovery key. You received it when you turned on FileVault and chose to create a recovery key instead of allowing your iCloud account (Apple ID) to unlock your disk.
Select a user that you want to reset the password for, then click Next.
Enter your new password information, then click Next.
When the password reset is completed, click Restart.

If you see the option to reset using your recovery key

Click the option to reset using your recovery key, then enter your FileVault recovery key. You received it when you turned on FileVault and chose to create a recovery key instead of allowing your iCloud account (Apple ID) to unlock your disk.
Enter your new password information, then click Reset Password.
