I believe that you can insert the OS X install disk, boot the installer, restart as it says then once booted from the installer CD go to File or Installer, whatever it is in the menu in the upper left hand corner and it allows you to change or re-enter/change your desired password.

Do not click on the install button in the center of the screen......

Curious about your password problem.....you haven't created a second/other user in your account perhaps....????

I have used only one password == the same password I've
always entered for OS X and for the iMac.  So there's no
way that I made a mistake.  I tried to find the file where
the password is kept, but can never find anything in OSX.
The Mac Help doesn't shed light on this particularly
situation that I can find.

Could use some advice as I'd like to move up to the next
improved version. Thanks for a simple step by step
instruction if anyone is willing. -
