Hold down Command-S at startup to enter single-user mode
at the command prompt, enter the following
fsck -y (to check disk)
mount -uw / (to mount hard drive as writable)
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/root passwd
(to enable a root user with no password)
touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
(to fool Setup Assistant into thinking it has been
run)
exit (to continue booting normally)
After this the system will continue booting and you will get the login screen. Just login with root and no password. Then you have to go to Users in SystemPreferences and create an admin user for the machine.
What you should do then is to go to NetInfo and disable the root user for security reasons.
Then it's just to configure everything from SystemPreferences.
