I have an older iMac and have forgotten password, any ideas on how to reset the password?
I have tried restarting the iMac and holding down CMD+R - nothing happens
The OS is High Sierra and can not be upgraded.

Another way...
See if you can create a new administrator account by restarting the Setup Assistant:
Be very careful to notice the spaces in those Terminal Commands.
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine, except all your data will still be there. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!
