I bought a used PowerBook and I don’t have any of the passwords for it. I bought a new Macbook a year ago and got the Leopard re store disc’s with it. Since then I have upgraded to Snow Leopard on the macbook. Can I use the restore disc from the macbook on the Powerbook since I am not using it. The Powerbook currently has Leopard on it.

Gary,
You can try, but restore disks are only supposed to work with the model that they came with. But you can try and see what happens.
Well I don't have another leopard cd, is there a way to burn the current OS to a cd.
No. You'll need to get a new set of install DVDs. Or, complain to the seller that they sold you the machine without a password (and without the original DVDs!). It is kind of like buying a car without the keys and owners papers.
