From the rules:
Quote:
Workarounds which comprimise security, bypass password protection, or otherwise go to gain unauthorized access to private data or information is prohibitied.
You'll probably have to reinstall Windows. When you do, make a ghost of the image so you can reinstall at a moments notice should something like this happen again.

Assuming your Admin. isn't mad at you call him/her and get the passwords.
If he/she moved get the forewarding address from the Post Office and have 411 give you the new phone number.

As stated in the forum rules, PCMech doesn't condone the use of workarounds, hacks, or warez as the people here have no way of telling if you are sincere in your motives, or some jerk looking to get in and hack the network.

There ARE ways to do it.. especially with the right kind of software tools.

Wish we could help, but the rules disallow password assistance. Gotta close this (and the other thread too) Please don't double post.
