how do I reset the administrator

I have an iMac G5 that I acquired when I bought a defunct storage unit. There is not password set on it, but the previous owner set an administrator and locked it. How do I change the administrator for the computer without wiping it?

Could you set me right here?


You can log in to an account without a password, but it's not an Admin account?


Or you can log into the Admin account, but need to change it for your own use?
