Hi Rodney,


If it's not a Firmware password or Filevault PW...


1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.


2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Utilities from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)


Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.
