Hello, I just got an iBook from a friend as he just got a
new MacBook Pro. The problem is, he forgot his
password. I know about Singler User Mode, but I don't
know how (or if it's possible) to get the password (or
password hash) from there. Can anybody help us out of
this jam?

Thanks.

PS I have tried Google-ing with no luck.

The only way around this is to boot from an OS X CD/DVD
and under the Utilities Menu (or Installer Menu) there is a
Reset Password command.
