How can I remotely log in to a Mac?

I have an iMac at an office and a mac laptop at home. I would like to remotely log into my office mac. I've tried looking up tutorials on how to do this but many of them assume a knowledge I do not have. I'm not sure if I should be doing it through file sharing, ssh, or ftp. Nothing I'm trying seems to work. Can anyone give me a detailed step by step process on how to do this?

The problem is I only have access to the computer at the office. I'm trying to set it up so another person elsewhere can access this one. I can do nothing to their computer. I've attempted to set up a remote login in and use ssh, but doing so prompts for a password and I have zero idea what password it is asking for. Is it the password for the account on the office computer?

Logmein is a good choice, however, if you are using a mac to log into your remote mac, use iCloud. iCloud has a "back to my mac" feature built-in.
