| Re-installing tiger without password I bought a 2nd hand G5 recently and I want to wipe whats on it as it came with some programs I do not need/want & I would like to install other programs. The problem is when I go to re-install Tiger it keeps asking me for the original password - which I do not know because it was never passed on to me! Is there any way I can re-install Tiger & proceed without the original password?? Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.  |

| When you boot up the computer with the install DVD, it is asking you for password? Or is it asking for an admin password while all ready in the system? |

| I guess it's asking for the password when you start the installer from within Mac OS X (which would set the computer to reboot from the DVD). It's rather simple: Put the DVD in, restart and hold down the "c" key to start from the optical drive. Then it doesn't ask for the administrative password.
