Solve : iBook from high school library?

Answer»

I just purchased a G4 iBook with OS 10.4.11 that came from a high school. It won't allow me to UPGRADE the OS, see more info in "about this mac" or enter system preferences. It seems to be a scholastic version of the OS or MAYBE parental controls are SIMPLY enabled. A menu option available I've never seen before is "Student Logout". When I select this it requires a username and PASSWORD. Neither the SELLER nor the school admin will give me any answers. When I Firewire it to my other mac with disk utility the HD doesn't show up. Any clue how can I wipe this HD and reinstall a fresh OS?   These links may help:
