My brother thought it would be a good idea if he started using his mac 
not in permanently administrator mode because he kept messing up 
things), so he put a username and  password on it (standard stuff, 
nothing clever).

But now, a year later, he wants to update Carbon Copy (or even use CC) 
and he cant remember his username or password.

Firstly: How many guesses does he get before it locks him out 
permanently?

Is there a way of retrieving this info?

[I'm not a Mac user, I use RISCOS] (which always operates in admin 
mode, there is no other).
