Hi zlito! Your best bet is going to be to wipe the HDD and reimage. You don't say if you are trying to maintain OS X or not. By your description of the box, it probably shipped with OS 8 or 9. Try this site for older OS downloaads (I actually liked System 7 pretty well). http://www.lowendmac.com/macos.shtml . There are a number of sites that have Mac freeware/shareware.
If you really don't want to toast and ghost, and the machine is running OS X, open a terminal window and su to root. Then wipe passwords. Assuming you are comfy with command line Unix, that is.
Feel free to PM me if you want additional information!
