Finding lost password

[jayp]

I have a second hand laptop on which when ever I want to install a software or anything, I have to enter the password. The thing is, I don't know the password since it was some persons I don't know. I did get 2 CDs with it, "PowerBook G4 Mac OS X Install Disc 1"...is there any way I can change the password or anything? Please help, thanks. =]

Boot from the Install disk by holding the C key. After you see the Installer window, go up to the Menus. There's a reset password command there.
