I think you'd probably be able to reset it using the OSX install disks, booting from them and then selecting Reset Password from the Installer menu which will give you a list of passwords you can reset.

Sounds like this needs to be a Guide in the macguides.

Ah, but the eternal question - what categories?

When referring to the master password, I assume we're talking about the main Administrator password, right?
