locked out of Mac

Need some serious help! Got locked out of my (early 2008) Mac because I forgot the password. Gained entry through single mode and deleting the apple setup done file and created a new admin user . But now everything is different, I was running pro tools 10 which I cant find the application now only pro tools 8 is there which it asks me for authentication. I was running machine 2.0 which it says is not compatible anymore with this OS 10.5 but it was running perfect before. Can anyone please help me figure this out!

Try resetting your password from the recovery console.

Have a read at this article. Number 4, using Recovery Mode seems the method most use in this situation:

No Recovery in Lewopard OS X.5.

GFo to Apple Online and spend $20 iobn Snow Leopard OS X.6 ands nupodate from there.

Nor did new member Jaiman it seems and also not noticing they were replying to an almost two month old post.
