Hi Jack, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

I'm guessing you don't remember what you used when first setting up the Mac?

Tried logging into the Admin account to see if you made a Clue for the Password?

If nothing else...

1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Change Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.*
