Robert:
May I strongly urge you to get a set of installer CDs. They will come in handy as you need them for much more than just installing the OS. From time to time, e.g. you may need to boot from the installer disk to Repair Disk (you can Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility on the HDD, but to Repair Disk, you must boot from a different volume). And if you had installer CDs changing the password and creating a new Admin Account would be a breeze.
You can get universal installer disks at applerescue. Another option in your situation is to do a complete re-install. That will not only enable you to create your own admin account, but it will automatically change the computer short name. However, for that you need installer disks.
Meanwhile, <a href=""http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121786&tstart=0>here is another article that should help.
Good luck.

Reboot with the installer disk that comes with the computer, you need to hold c while booting, under the second or third screen is a menu option to reset the password.
This is necessary if you don't remember the password. However if you know it and just wnat to change it, go to system preferences, accounts and then unlock it by typing in the admin name and password (the current one). Now click on the admin account on the side and you can change the name by typing one in the full name: box and the password by clicking the change password button.
