How can I log into the administrator account on a pc in my school on winxp pro? How can we get the administrator account to reappear. you know the one with

USER: administrator

PassWord: administrator

Please answer as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
 
I did it this way. I restarted the computer and logged in as normal. Then I logged out and unpluged the eithernet cable and logged in as normal again. It said it could not connect to the server and so gave my account administrator priveliges. I changed the password for administrator. Restarted the pc. And now can get in. AND you people thought I was thick :D

I still do oO

No offense but usually college/ school admins arent too good.

Our school admin went on porn ffs and was fired when we left. Out college one was ok but they never seemed to fix the blatant security hole (we had a file called mario.exe which launched on system start and gave us all privilages we shouldnt have had; and being computer students we abused them)

We have a admin but he is not the proper admin. "server guy" Who is payed to come and sort out all the crap that the admin makes is the one with the real admin account. Plus this is a windows exploit where it does not have your security settings so it just gives you admin ones.
 
Funny story... our sysadmin gave us access to dos and shit so we could compile out java programs. I almost got banned off the network by a teacher cause I was in DOS lol. If that had of happened my friend has around 20 fresh accounts for people who are banned :). Its sooo easy; once i managed to get into a friends account by going to one of the admin and saying id forgot my password; it was then reset to password and I could borrow his files :)
 
We use emacs with OSX at school. Only reason I would want to change something is to take off the filter. Who cares if a site has to do with games? :angry:
