MAC OS X tiger help for a Windows technician

[Derek Chesterfield]

I don't know about the other issues, but for this one you need to  
boot the Mac from an Tiger DVD. Insert the DVD, and hold down the C  
key while booting to force it to boot off the optical drive. When the  
installer displays, from the menu bar the should be an option about  
resetting the admin password [can remember exact text]. Choose that.  
Then you will be presented with a list of IDs to choose, and you can  
reset that account's password.
