Insert the Mac OS X CD. Under the file menu (I think it's 'File'), choose reset password.

Tell him next time to create a password "hint" as prompted, it does what it's supposed too.

Thanks... all set now.

There are many things I want to "tell him" but I'm being nice since he was thinking about getting a PC. :-)
