I have been given an EMAC by one of my customers. It has a 1 gig processor w 128 mb ram and a 40 gb hd. I would like to get this up and running for my son. Problem is there is a password needed when it boots up. I don't know the password, and have no way of getting it. It has OS X. I do not have any cds or such.
I am completely new to MACs, so i was just wondering what would I have to do to get this thing working.I don't have a problem purchasing software if need be. How would you go about resetting the username and the password? Thanks for any help.

You'll need an OS X install CD/DVD to do that. After that you can just follow the instructions in this Apple info document on resetting the password.
