Found an old imac, but it's locked by foreign user

Hey guys, A year ago I found an old imac(maybe G5 or something) in the street next to my house. The problem is, for some reason the cmd+R is not working, and when the computer is up i AM getting to the desktop, but in the settings I can't change anything cause it needs the old user's password. I tried to contact through email to what appears to be the person with no anwer. Any idea of how to reset everything? i'm just looking to start all over. Format the drive/ erase everything.

Thanks a lot
