I need assistance with how to unlock a user password in a Powerbook G4 using OS 10.4.2 Tiger.

I'm trying to do updates on the machine and it is asking me for a password.

Can PRTK help me with this?

Thanks

Try booting it with the OS X install disc and use the option to reset the admin password.

Takes no time at all. Take it to an Apple store and "borrow" their disc…
