I got an old iMac from 2006 or so running but I can't remember the password because I grabbed an old hard drive to put in as the original was dead. There's nothing on it other than the system. How can I boot it up and wipe the drive and reset it so someone could use it?
Startup form the original gray Tiger install disc 1 from the set.
Go to the menu bar and select Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select the Macintosh HD and then Erase.
Then you are all set to recycle it or reinstall Tiger and basically curse someone with an old unusable iMac.
