    Default urgent help: password on OSX.2.6

    okay so heres the situation. my friend got a old powerbook g4 from ebay then brought it straight home here.

    here are the problems:

    has os 10.2 installed with no intallation disks.
    has the password protected admin and automatically logs on as a restircted user. but cant change the password since i havent got the 10.2 disks with me.

    i cant install 10.3 either since im not in a administrator account?

    can someone help me reformat this powerbook with a clean 10.3 install. also any pages on detailed instructions of replacing a g4 powerbook's HD.

    thanks.

    Boot from a 10.3 CD, select Disk Utility from the pull down menu and erase the drive.

    Yes, Aram, after erasing the HD, it's ready for the install.

    btw, it's elbert, not elebrt.
