Force Welcome Wizard To Start (Again)

Hey there

I'm just wondering if it is possible to force the Welcome Wizard to run again (the wizard that starts when you first purchase a machine to setup a user account etc). It's just I'm selling on my old iMac but would like to reinstall the OS (but include all the recent updates, etc). But to install the updates I would obviously have to log into the machine for the "first time".

Anyway that probably made no sense at all, but the general gist is that I would like to make the Welcome Wizard run again (say on the next restart of the computer).

Any ideas?
