What is the version of Mac OS/OS X is it running? If it starts up with an Apple logo and a spinning wheel, it is running 10.2 and above. Any version of OS X can have it's admin account circumvented by accessing open firmware and resetting the machine to think it was just installed with OS X.
OS 9, however, would need an Install CD as far as I'm concerned, because I am not aware of any other methods.
