Need help, OSX Tiger, Do not know admin pw.

Ok, so a office paid me to do some stuff on their Mac machines. The OSX is 10.4 Tiger. What happened when i went to install Firefox was that the machine needs a admin profile to install apps. (Im not a Mac guy) well when i went to the office to ask what it was, no one who worked there knew the admin pw. They dont have the re install CDs. So i tried looking is there anyways to get that PW back or create a new admin profile without having admin rights.

Basicly,

Need to install programs
Requires admin profile
Do not know admin info
OS X 10.4 Tiger
Intel based CPU.

Thanks
Wayne

Re: Need help, OSX Tiger, Do not know admin pw.

There is nothing you can do without the admin password. And it is part of our forum rules here that we do not help with admin passwords on systems. The only option they have right now from what you have said is to buy the new OS for each of the Macs they have and install it and start over. This thread is now closed.
