Took my G4 out of attic to give to needy. Forgot username and password. How can I reset both?  Thanks

Can anyone help me with this?

Reset password with OS X disc:

Change the password without disc:

After that, create a new user account with administrative privleges and then delete the old user account.
Make sure to copy any data from the old account that you may want, as afterwards it won't be accessible.
Or, use the OS install discs to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS.
