Reset password for G4 tower running 10.4

[Abuff54]

I have a G4 tower from around 2005. It was a company computer that is no longer used. It has an admin password that I would like to delete, I don’t need any passwords. I would like to use this Mac for personal use but can get past the username and password Screen. Does someone know how to fix this? Much appreciated. I don’t have the install cds and I’ve tried opt S and opt R but doesn’t work.

Hey Cory, thanks for your reply. This computer was on a network and I think its looking for the network on startup. I've tried Opt R and Opt S but these don't work. Do you have any other suggestions. I took a pic of the startup screen but I guess there's no way to show you. Thanks again.
