On Macs of that era you can usually reset the password by starting it up in Recovery Mode, or if it's old enough to not have Recovery Mode you'll need the original MacOS CD.
Though on the whole, if you plan to use it as a Mac you'll struggle to install a new enough OS to be able run modern software. Might be useable as a Linux box.

Found a 2006 iMac A1224 in a bin the other day.
Any chance I can use it?
I haven’t any experience outside of iPhones and 4th gen iPods with apple so I really have no clue if this was worth salvaging in respect to being able to use it.
What common problems should I look for? I’m assuming a software fault tbh but haven’t turned it on.
Are users and passwords and stuff like windows pc or like iOS iCloud?
