How do i figure out what version of Mac OS I am running. And can I update this?

I have a Mac Book G4 from late 2006. I am trying to download a program that requires I have Mac OS 10.5 or better. I regularly do the updates my Mac tells me to do when they come up but this program wont run on my machine.
How do I find out what version I am running and can I install a new version?

How do you boot from the disc at system start on Mac OS X Panther?

I am stuck because I tried to upgrade a G4 to Panther OS and there was an error. Now I cannot go back to the old OS and cannot login to the new one because I don’t have the password.

Is there a way to boot from the disc and install a different OS? Like Jaguar? How do I do this? In Windows it is so simple but Mac makes it to where you are a zombie user with NO control over your system. It’s terrible!
