Problem with reformatting a 2006 iMac

I'm helping a friend revitalize an older iMac. Trouble is he doesn't remember the password and we've been locked out a few times trying various possibilities.

I've tried erase the drive with Disk Utility, but the drive is greyed out, not selectable.

it also won't let me erase/install with a new iMac install disk selected as the start-up.


Any ideas? I want to erase the drive and do a fresh install with a copy of Snow Leopard.
