Ah, the problem of the automatic login. You could boot with the Leopard disk and reset his password, but that will probably lock him out of all his keychains. Check the accounts pane, and see if you can change his password there.
Also, it is well advised for security reasons, to not use the Administrator login created at system startup for day to day activities. It adds a additional layer of security if any trojan horse or other malware needs to skip to a administrative login in order to get full access to the machine's root / full access.
