Forgotten the Admin users password For my xmas imac!!!

[Ned Senior]

Hi some of you may remember I got an iMac last month for my son's xmas pressie... I gave it a run upon delivery to check it wasn't DOA... all good and packed it away again.
HOWEVER;
I think I gave it an unusual password tho' so as he doesn't load any nasties, my problem is that I may not be able to remember the right PW on xmas morn ( I have a few to run through to try) in which case if none of the one's I think it MAY be work, we will not be able to run updates etc.
HELP ME RHONDA is there ANYTHING I can do????????????
What are my options folks???
Cheers
Phil

Thankyou
I may get it right (the password) But, just incase I am now sorted
These forums are great I only joined last year whilst awaiting HD disc players for the living room the amount of info you can glean is immense AND the forum heads wish you happy birthday... WHAT MORE is there to life

Panic over the first pw I tried was the right one!!

Do you guys think I should load up the leopard disc that was in the box or stay with Tiger

My son was shocked to say the least when he recieved his gift ho ho ho

Go Leopard, its got some really nice features aside from the big headline stuff.

Enjoy your iMac.
