When you say tried booting from the install CD, do you mean it did not boot up or you could not reset the admin password? I personally do not know if it makes a difference whether it is the same CD or not, but just in case you have not seen this. I thought I would include this link of the required steps to reset the admin password.

I forgot to ask if you were holding the c key down while rebooting or starting up? That is required and if that does not work try the option key or another combination. These links talk about it.

Where did you get this laptop? Did you buy it off a friend or online site (i.e. eBay)? You should contact the previous owner to get this password from them, if you did purchase it from someone who previously owned it. |

You have the CD in and it still asks for a password? I am thinking that you do not have the correct CD. As that should not be happening as you are not booting from the CD. |
