I need a way to breach into my mac laptop. I recently added a keychain password to it. I also blocked the commands -s & -r at start up with a password. I did this when my friend was trying to get into it. The only password I remember is the one to my user account. Can someone make a virus to reset my mac, or tell me a way to access terminal? I don't have privileges to it for some ransom reason. Medals will be given! ^-^

If the OS is Maverick or Yosemite, you can hold down the option key which will let you boot off the rescue partition, or any other bootable volumes.  This would be the same as booting off of a DVD in earlier versions.

You could hold down the 't' key, which will boot the machine into Target Disk Mode, where this computer is really just a disk drive which another Mac can mount and use.

How do I check which OS it is? Sorry, I am a Windows Person. I rarely ever use Mac.

Why not try the keys and see what works?

If you're not familiar with a Mac enough so that my answer makes sense, I would advise you to take it to somebody to fix it.  This machine is goofed up enough that a newbie doesn't stand a chance.
