I know nothing about Macs so please forgive me! An aged Macbook Powerbook G4 (running OSX 10.4.7) has come into my possession. I have no use for it but it seems to work OK and has various software installed etc. My problem is that I have found a folder i Users that belonged to a previous owner containing a few documents that I would like to delete before passing the computer on. When I try to delete the whole folder or any of its contents them by dragging to the waste bin I get a message that says I need to type a password. The Name field is already populated with "My Name" but of course I don't know what the password is. Is there any simple way around this? I don't have the time or knowledge to do anything complicated but if there is a way to just delete the entry for the former user it would be ideal. Thanks
