I just found another way as well for your info:
Disabling Password Protection
1) Boot into the Open Firmware. (Command + Option + O + F)
2) Type "setenv security-mode none" and press return.
3) Enter in the password at the password request prompt and press return.
4) Then type "reset-all" to restart the computer.
Also check this link out I got from a guy on the Mac Wizards list:
http://www.google.com/mac?num=20&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&q=remove+firmware+password
The problem with this is that you need to KNOW the password! The OP
got the machine 2nd hand and did NOT know the password.
