Need some osX help, sorry about the OT post

I'm new to the OSX and I need to find out what the administrative password is. When I installed OSX I don't remember having to enter this info.

Any help would be great.

Did you use any password at all while loading the OS? What if you leave the field blank?

truthfully, I'm not sure, but I always use the same password for this kind of thing.

If I leave it blank I can't get past the screen.

Clean install? New Mac or old one?
