Boot off the Snow Leopard DVD and chose Reset Password in the Utilities menu.

PowerMac's have the PPC cpu and will not boot Snow Leopard. I'm not sure that you can reset the password with the Leopard DVD.

Well spotted, perhaps it was just a typo from Eric though, as Delve stated 10.5 which is Leopard.
