Need help with admin permissions on my laptop
Because of a long story, I've locked myself out of the admin account on my laptop for over a year. This is a personal machine (Dell Latitude 600 running Windows 2000 Pro), and the login I use now doesn't have admin permissions, and it's starting to really bug me.

Is there any way I can reset the admin password without having admin access?

1. This works...
Download and burn the image of this password reset disk to CD. Read the FAQs. Boot from the disk to reset your admin password.

3. Another possibility:
Trinity Rescue Kit. Every good geek should have it.
