Hey guys, I have not the best knowledge of mac computers, but I got a free mac desktop, an older one, I think from about 2007, but the previous owner didn't realize he should delete all his files and his account, but no... he didn't, and now I am stuck with a computer with 40gb of hard drive space taken up by a useless cause, so I thought can I delete every single file on the computer? so I thought I would ask you guys, what I need to do is delete his account, but I don't have his password or the disc that came with the computer that has the os on it... can someone help explain to me how I can delete everything? (remember I don't know very much about computers, more than the average person but not allot)

cheers.
 
It's an '07? That means it probably has OS X 10.5, right? If you can shell out the $30, you could always just buy Snow Leopard(10.6) and kill two birds with one stone. (upgrade + clean install)

If it's early '07 it probably has Tiger/10.4, in which case you'd really want to upgrade.
