My son set up his IMac with 10.4 setting himself as administrator. I want to change the administrator account to a different account so I can use the parental controls on his account (he has lots of stuff on his account so I don't want to just move him to a new user account). Is there an easy way to make this switch? Thanks!

Hi zzstep and welcome to the forum,
I suggest you create a new User Account, giving it full Admin Privileges and from that new account you can then proceed to change your sons account to a "Standard" one with any Parental Controls set by you.
To do this you would need to have access to his account or the Install Disc that would have came with his iMac.
