To reset your password, boot your Mac from your OS disc and pick the option from the pull-down in the top-left corner. It's been a while since I've done it, but that's the procedure...

| cheers mate wouldn't work using mac os disk wanted my password but it tried it again and it worked this time must have typoed first few times lol. what i wanted wouldnt install anyway cos quicktime 7 needs 10.3.9 and i have 10.2.6 except you have to pay to get the upgrade even though it is just a revision and so £65 is a little steep as far as i am concerned.

10.5 (Leopard) should be out next year. It might be an idea to wait a little, and skip two operating systems...

Forget about 10.3.9 and either wait for Leopard or try Ebay for a copy of Tiger. I would also look out for a processor upgrade for the Cube if you plan using CS2 on it. My G4 400MHz Powermac struggled a bit with large files on certain tasks. Have a look at OtherWorldComputings web site (in the States) as they sell a lot of Mac upgrade gear. You should find some of the older processor upgrades online for a reasonable price .
