*Boot from the Mac OS X Install CD (even if its a restore CD) like you were installing the OS and just find the Reset Password box.
 
you could boot into SUM - single user mode and type in passwd -i netinfo username, but I dunno if you could do it like that, lemme check... it works!

sorry it didn't work...is there no other way, I would actually just prefer to system restore it seeing as there are alot of files i rather get rid of just taking space.
 
You need an install disc to do that. Be sure to hold down Command + S till a black background with grey text is your screen and it says to release it or it shows /root#

EDIT: Sorry, restart the computer and before the chime sounds hold down the Command + S till a black background with grey text is your screen...
