Ah, the joys of forgetting passwords. Reminds me of the time I locked myself out of my own house and had to call a locksmith. Lesson learned: write that stuff down somewhere safe!

D seems a bit extreme, don't you think? Why nuke the whole hard drive when you can just unlock it with that recovery key? Gotta love FileVault 2 for that.

I think we should also consider option A. Starting up from OS X Recovery could also be a good option to help Joseph reset his password.

I agree with Fletcher. Option C seems like the most practical way to help Joseph recover his administrator password.

I'd go with B. The Firmware Password utility can help bypass the login screen and get you back in. Just don't forget that password either!

Option C is the way to go. That recovery key is a lifesaver when you forget the admin password. Just gotta find it!
