If you have the original discs that the unit comes with, then you can either reset the password using the discs, or reinstall the operating system(erase and install, which is probably good, since you don't have anything on it).

Instructions for the reset are here (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156).
Scroll down to Resetting the original administrator account password
