Do you have the correct combined updater for 10.2.8 - this one?

If you have that correct combo update - do you get some kind of error when you try to install it?

I am not sure...
For some reason it wont upload from the system updater. I have tried to acess this download from the website, but can't get to it because it wont show up within the internet. I am thinking its because the security updates aren't updated. Is there anyway I can get this download onto a cd from another computer and upload it that way?

Yep, simply download the file from another computer, burn it to a CD, then take it over to the problematic computer.
umm when I attempt it from the System Updater it just says that it "encountered a problem" and when I use the software from the disk it just says that this software could not be installed on this computer...
To give some background....
The computer was bought off of craigslist and the people we bought it from did not know the Administrators Password... So we redid the software, 10.2, but I thought it didn't need to go through the whole process to just change the password because I still couldn't get the software to upload without the password.
I ended up forming a new account and was able to redo the software through that. But can't use any of the programs or update to a 10.2.8.

This will likely be the time when you would like to have the 10.2 installer disks.
You should first double-check that you do have the correct install for the 10.2.8 updater on your CD. That file will be named: MacOSXUpdateCombo10.2.8.dmg
Note the word 'combo' in the middle. If that's not there, then you have the wrong download, and you need to get the correct one, from the link that I already provided.
This is how that's supposed to work: Double-click the .dmg, which will create a folder with a file named: MacOSXUpdateCombo10.2.8.pkg
When you then double-click that .pkg, that will launch the Installer utility, and you just follow the instructions to install the update.
If nothing about that works, and you actually do have the correct file, then your OS X system should be reinstalled using the option to Archive & Install - which means that you need the installer disks to fix this. There's not likely any other options that will help without reinstalling.
