Can't remember my login password!

I have an old iMac desktop computer that I haven't used for 4 years. I tried to login to view my files, but cannot remember my password. How do I retrieve or change my password so I can use this computer again? Also, I do not have the original install disk.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.3.x)

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.
