Someone changed my password. That is, someone went into my computer and changed the overall password. I'm the only one who uses this computer, and I don't leave it alone without the door locked (I'm on a college campus). I can't install new programs because it requires a password, and none of my existing passwords work. Please help me. Is there any way to change the password without requiring the new one?

Just boot from your install CD -- when it comes up, go to the apple menu, a password reset utility is there.
