Is it asking for a password at the login screen, or is it asking for an open-firmware password (gray screen, picture of a padlock, asking for only a password)?

If the latter, then to get around that is to either add or remove a significant amount of RAM to/from the system, then immediately after starting it up after removing the RAM, hold down command-option-P-R and keep them held down until the machine reboots three times.
