[QUOTE="s2odin, post: 1150567, member: 176525"] You can boot from the install discs that came with the computers and hold C when booting then you can change your admin password. You just need to select the Mac HD then reset the password. Or you can restart the computer and hold Command + S when it restarts then type in the following: mount -uw / rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone shutdown -h now (hit return after each line) This creates a new admin account that you can login to.
