I bought a 2nd hand G5 recently and I want to wipe whats on it as it came with some programs I do not need/want & I would like to install other programs.
The problem is when I go to re-install Tiger it keeps asking me for the original password - which I do not know because it was never passed on to me!

Is there any way I can re-install Tiger & proceed without the original password??

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
 
When you boot up the computer with the install DVD, it is asking you for password? Or is it asking for an admin password while all ready in the system?
 
I guess it's asking for the password when you start the installer from within Mac OS X (which would set the computer to reboot from the DVD).

It's rather simple: Put the DVD in, restart and hold down the "c" key to start from the optical drive. Then it doesn't ask for the administrative password.
