Open System Preferences from the Dock and then click "Security & Privacy". Set a password there. Do not forget this password or you will not be able to change anything or download anything on your iMac.

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.

IMac my grandson put a password on the computer and now he cant remember it how can i get on or reset the computer?

To reset the password on Mac OS X you need to start up the computer from the original system install disc that came with the iMac. Insert the disc in the disc drive. Restart the computer and hold down the C key until the computer has recognised the disc and has started loading it. Once the desktop has loaded select Reset Password from the Installer (in earlier versions this may be called Utilities) menu at the top of the screen. Select the computers hard disc and then the account that has had the password added to it. Enter a new password. Enter a hint to remind you if you ever forget it again. Restart the computer.
