will the existing files be destroyed or damaged?
will I have acsess to my files?
will I be able to check mail or use the internet?
i think thats about it thanks
 
Nothing will be lost or destroyed by booting off the OS X disc, but you won't have access to your files.

You can change the Password when booted off the OS X disk. Under one on the Menu's there's a Reset Command.
