Stuck for a password

[Tom Baker]

A schoolteacher gave me an early G-3  iMac (the one called a molar 
because it looks like a big tooth) that has been in use in her 
elementary school classroom for a couple of years, and she asked if I 
could "make it work right again" so they could continue using it. Seems 
it has been locking up and "behaving weirdly." Although it had 
originally come with 10.1 on it, it appears that they were only using 
it in 9. Someone had thrown away almost everything related to 10, maybe 
to gain disk space, and although the computer would still boot into 10, 
the dock was filled with nothing but question marks.

I have an eMac OS-X install CD and I used it to put a fresh copy of 
10.2 on the drive. Then I tried to upgrade it to Panther using some 
upgrade CDs I have, but the computer keeps asking for a password before 
it will proceed with the upgrade. Neither the teacher nor anyone in the 
class can remember what the password is. So I'm stuck.

I'm new to OS-X myself, so I'm stymied. What should I do now?
