If you know the old password then you can go to Accounts in the System Preferences and change it there.

If you can't remember it then if your computer came "Brand New" with a disk then yes you need the disk to boot to to change the password. If it came without a disk and you have to boot to the reinstallation/ Utility/restore partition (sorry, can't remember the right name) then you just reboot into that partition and do the same thing.

How do you break admin password in a mac G4 model computer?

If the Admin password is not known, it is possible to reset the admin password using the Mac OS X install disc that came with the computer (or a retail version). Simply boot from the disc holding the 'c' key down, and proceed to the Install screen. Find the Password Reset utility (it will either be under the Install menu or the Utilities menu, depending on the version of Mac OS X), and then follow the instructions to reset the password. If the System Administrator (or root) password is unknown, there is no way to reset it. The hard drive must be erased and Mac OS X installed from scratch.
