Resetting the password for an OPENSTEP box has probably been covered on

contact Alex Horovitz from NeXT^WApple^WWherever he's working these days.

Bog-standard 17" iMac Core Duo, quite an early one too (I think we got

(at the moment, just because I haven't downloaded the release yet) and 
10.4.6.
