Hello All,
I got this PowerMac G3 given to me the other day but do not have the main password to do updates or the CD to install and reformat the computer.
My question is what does a guy have to do to find one of these old disks to restore my Mac to original settings and change the main password.

Also when ever I go to put a question mark down I get this symbol ÉÉÉ How do I get rid of theses stupid ÉÉÉ.

Cheers!!
 
What system is installed on the machine?

If it's OS X, you need to buy a retail copy of OS X to change the password or reformat.

You can get previous OSX disks from OWC.
