Are you still in touch with the friend you bought it from? Ask him for the discs.
Since it is an Intel iMac, I would upgrade to Lion through the App store. You end up with the latest operating system and do not need any discs.<div>For all your other software, you probably had no legal right to it anyway so, if it stops working, just buy what you need to get what you need.
I bought an intel Imac snow leapord osx without the software from a friend a few years ago. My x deleted all of my programs which I dont have any of the discs for, and changed the administrator password. Is there a way to reset the password so I can start to use my mac again and regain the programs such as photoshop for use again???? Or can I or should I delete the hard drive and if so how? Im not computer ecspecially mac savy one bit. Thanks folks!
