I'm not sure what I can try now.

Boot from the startup CD; there's an option there (in one of the menus)
to set a new password for each account.

Ås I described, I did that, several times! To no avail!

Not wanting to hijack your thread, but I am interested in
*preventing* the security hole that you are trying to exploit
here. Namely, how can you prevent this password reset
capability using the startup disc? Some open firmware option?

See <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482>

Thank you. :-)
