Hi Ray
  does the G4 have two Hard Drives in it ?
if so It would be great if OS 9 is on one drive then 10 is on the  
other drive.
if not you can change the password with your panther disk when you  
get them you will have to boot with CD hold down the c key go into  
password utilities put in the new password don't put it on the root  
one but the one the name of the hard drive.
But The name of the guy will still be there  you can change the  
admin. name everything also
