administrator access questions on osx.4

[krossfyter]

problem:
working on a mac osx.4 setup on another account with different password.

need to find out if i can get pass the password.

not sure who the admin is.

how would you take care of this problem? there has got to be some way other then uninstalling osx.4 and reinstalling. have a lot of files under the account that i dont know the password to. thnx.

Are you asking how to hack into someone else's account? 😱

If so, this is quite doable, you just need a Tiger DVD...

Edit: Apple Support is actually frighteningly helpful on the subject: Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
