Confirmed: passwd works in 10.5
Authored by: ilikeimac on Jun 17, '09 07:44:15PM

I did just the following after rebooting to single user mode in 10.5 and it worked:

/sbin/mount -uw /
passwd username
After the next reboot my machine didn't automatically login, even though it is configured to do so, and it prompted me for the keychain password in order join my wireless network, but it did honor the new password and it sounds like you can subsequently reset the password in System Preferences to change the keychain password.
