Hi, recently just fixed our old Imac G5 PCC 2.0 ghz that had been sitting around for a few years.. while i logged on i couldn't remember any of the passwords for the accounts, is there any way to reset them? my optical drive is busted so i can't install anything from CD :/
thanks in advance 🙂

You can get a Firewire external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ That will enable you to use the CD.
You can use the Terminal to change the password, but I would make sure your Mac is not hooked up to any internet connection before doing so:

thanks for your reply bro. I ended up using the terminal to reset the password and all is working now.
