Hey all,

Ok i own an iMac G5, but decided to give my missus my old graphite G3 iMac...

Now the problem is when you switch it on it asks for a password, which i have tried al the ones id ever use and it still dont work.

Any ideas? Can i reset the iMac? I got some photos on there so id rather not but if i had to... Well id have to eh?

Thanks in advance...
