Erase iMac 2002 G4 without original OS disk
How can I erase my old iMac 2002 G4, without the original OS disks. Have tried restarting holding commend R, which does nothing. It just restarts to normal Home Screen. It’s currently running on 10.4.11

Hi there,
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.
