Any ideas how I can render it usable? I either get the Open
Firmware password screen or the screen asking for the admin password.
Changing the amount of RAM in the iMac and then booting &
immediately zapping pram (apple-option-P-R for 3 chimes) works for
me to reset the open firmware password - that's on an iMac 400.
Talking to myself now :) - I should add that once the open firmware
password is reset, the booting from CD with the panther install disk
will work, from there you can reset the admin password as Jim Foster
suggested, and hopefully go on your merry way using the iMac.
