Okay, I have Mac OS 9 and 10 on my computer. My problem is I can log onto OS 9, but can't log on to OS 10 because of a disgruntled ex co-worker put a login password. I can't format the drive because I have a lot of things I need on it. If I back it up it would take a while due to the amount of files on the desktop. Any help on finding the password would be appreciated. I am not a person trying to break into other peoples' computers, this is my own computer at work that I use.

Thanks

If you forget your password for your
computer, insert the Mac OS X CD and
restart your computer while holding down
the C key on the keyboard. When the
Installer appears, choose Reset
Password from the Installer menu and
follow the onscreen instructions.
