just installed a new copy of lepord,,, i bought this computer off ebay...now , when i do a software update, it asks for password and user id,,,during the installl,,i did not put that info anywhere ..what do i do...is there a place i can put my user name and password
 
Start up your 10.5 install disk again.

Once you are on the install screen check the menu for change password.

From there select the user you are using and change the password.

Oh, since this is a used computer, I suggest creating a new user and using that instead of the one that came with the machine.
