[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 143663"] My sister gave me her old PowerPC G5 (10.2.7 1.8GHz) . I am trying to get it a bit more up-to-date. So, tried to install 10.2.8 and eventually make upgrade it all the way to 10.4.2 . Now here is the problem. Installer requires a password and sister forgot her's. She also does not have the OS X install disc, so I could change the PW manually. Is there anyway around this? I would hate to only use this comp to surf the net.... Could I purchase a new OS X disc and try to use that to change PW? With 10.2.7 I cant even install Office, which I need considering I just made the switch from PC!!! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance [/QUOTE]
