Password Problem

[PeterPelosi]

Hi,

I just started a new job and have taken over the previous employees iMac. I want to set it all up for myself and change the admin and user accounts however no one knows the password for it and they dont have the OSx discs ( I know you can change it if you boot from disc ). Is there anything I can do to override this without the password or the OSx disc?

Thank you in advance

They don't have the OSX discs... ouch. I'm not sure if there is another way without the install discs.
