Macbook

Is there a way to reset a password without the boot disc that came with the computer? Or a way to reset the password from a regular tiger disc?

Any disk from the system you have installed should work. Here's a guide:

Regular Tiger disc probably means retail, right? Nope, those only run on PPC Macs. Leopard will be the first Mac OS to boot both architectures from one disc.

You _do_ need the original installation disc.

If you know anyone with an Intel Mac, any Intel OS X restore disk will boot your MacBook. You can't install any software if the disk came with a different model, but you CAN run the various utilities, such as Password reset. I have done this several times recently, so I'm sure it works.
