What is your operating system version? I assume you are using 10.5.8 or earlier since you are using a G5. The usual method is:


Resolution

  1. Start up from your Mac OS X Install DVD.
  2. From the Utilities menu, choose Reset Password....
  3. Reset the password for the affected account(s).


The Reset Password option may be under a different menu for older versions of OS X like Tiger or Panther.
