[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 253132, member: 273"] I don't think there is much of a way to get "around" the password without the original installation disks. To be honest though, since this is your first Mac, it would be nice to get a real "Mac" experience, and that means OS X. Here's what I'd recommend to get full enjoyment out of your new AIO: A) Pick up an inexpensive, larger HD if it doesn't already have one. You can find a decent, 20 GB model for around $20. B) Get yourself a copy of OS X 10.3 Panther. If you check around, you can find a full installation version for less than $50. C) Upgrade the VRAM to 6 MB. Around $5 or $6 on eBay. D) Purchase as much RAM as you can afford. 256 MB sticks are around $30 each at [url=http://macsales.com]Other World Computing[/url] E) Install everything, and enjoy your newly upgraded AIO for right around $100 If you end up having any questions or need any help or advice, just let me know. I have a G3 AIO that I use daily, and it's a great machine. [/QUOTE]
