Need help bypassing password protection
I have an iMac G5 OS X that was never password protected, until last weekend when I left it unattended with my roommates at my apartment. When I turn on my computer, it asks for a user name and password (both fields are empty) and I don't have any clue what either field are. Is there any way that I can bypass these fields or is it hopeless?

boot from the OSX DVD, when the install pops up, you can quit it, and then check utilities to reset the password.

can you not ask your roommates what they typed in? are they just having a laugh with you?

Scroll down to the bit about R"esetting the original administrator account password".
