Old user password no longer works after migration


during week macbook hard drive bit dust. had new hard drive installed today , migrated old data on new drive backup when got home. far - except when try log-in migrated user, password doesn't work. i've tried lots of alternatives, though i'm 100% sure know password is. it's inconceivable can other think is!

tried resetting password of user account in question through administrator user account, new password doesn't work when log out , try log-in old user again. i've tried going in through master password (honestly, have no recollection of setting master password) nothing type in works either. have limited pool of passwords , i've tried them all. it's not caps lock problem or anything.

running lion on account i'm trying re-access old hard drive, new drive running snow leopard. this? failing that, there other way reset password?

i'm absolutely @ end of tether here , advice appreciated.
 

bump, having same problem.

surprised @ how poor mr seems @ providing answers technical problems this.
