Resetting a Lost Password on a Mac OS X server

Asked by jschreiber69 in Apple Networking, Appletalk

Tags: password, lost, mac, os, x

I have just transferred into a middle school that is predominately PC, but has its share of Macs.  One of the Macs I inherited is a G5 Mac OS X server.  Unfortunately,  no one knows what it has been used for (filesharing, Mac Manager, etc.) and no one knows the login/password.  I know for the PC,  there is a software program called Passware Kit that contains a utility to reset the admin password (http://www.lostpassword.com) for 2000 and XP machines.  Does anyone know of a program that can reset the admin password for this Mac OS X server?? Or is it possible to convert this server into a "regular" client machine by installing Panther??Start Free Trial
