What to press when installing Mac OS X Leopard using a non-Apple keyboard?

**facefacebook** · 25-07-2011

I forgot the password of my Mac OS Leopard so I'm planning to install a fresh copy of the OS. I use a non-Apple keyboard (a keyboard for Windows). I inserted the OS disk and I pressed and held the "C" key. But it didn't lead to the Mac OS Leopard installation screen. What is the problem? Maybe I need to press other keys

for non-Apple keyboard? Please help. PS. my computer is an iMac G5.
