[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 54679, member: 5184"] Well, the only way to change the admin's password is with the system disk, but as you don't have it, I don't see a chance to change that. I would suggest that you get the latest OS, Mac OS X 10.3, wipe the hard disc and make a fresh install. Not only is 10.3 faster than any older version (even on the old iMacs), but also making a clean install would solve your actual, and maybe upcoming troubles (due to settings, installed applications and data from the previous user) with your actual OS.
