 i got my G5 computer as a refurb through musiccontrol, and changed my admin password to stop my flatmates playing around with cuebase files etc. but i forgot it now...i know nice one! because its a refurb i didnt get a start up disk and cant seem to get get ahold of musiccontrol, so i cant install other software ect. any ideas how to reset a new password without the disk?

Borrow a disk. Without a MacOS X Installer, you can't reset the password.

Well, one could go the single user route, but I don't think the original poster would want to get involved with that.

Yup, the right solution for the right person 
In any case, having an install cd is a must.
