[QUOTE="evopanop, post: 51502"] Hey all, I just recently bought a B&W G3 off of eBay. I just got it today and when I powered it up, lo and behold, it was apparently owned by a highschool. There are several normal and admin accounts already setup, and I really want to upgrade the computer to OS X; but, I don't believe I can actually change anything without access to the admin account(s). Does anyone know a possible work-around for this? Anyway I can just boot from the OS X CD, because I can't seem to figure out how to for the life of me, or possibly get access to the admin accounts without the passwords. Any help you guys could give me would be great. Thanks, in advance. Also, please keep in mind that I'm a Mac n00b, and this is my frist Mac, lol. :cool: [/QUOTE]
