Yes. Boot with the 10.6 disk and before the install happens go to the menu items and in the Finder menu (on the install disk) hunt around the menu item to find "reset Administrator password". Reset the password and boot back into normal mode. Then in system Preferences->account change the password back to what you want. Then you must reboot your Mac one more time to let that password set in throughout the Mac.

I had this happen to me back in going from 104 to 10.5 on a clean install and this process fixed my problem. Hope it helps you.
