Hey all,
I have a question involving one of the systems that me and 2 other people tend to take care of since the IT department told us "oh hey, ya, we don't really care about those systems over in that area. We just maintain the general ones."
Anyway, some idiot decided to lock one of the systems from use. Basically, there is only one user on it and they somehow for some reason changed the settings for them to be a limited user as opposed to an admin.
So how do we fix this without re-installing windows XP???
I know it is running Service Pack 2 and all.
I heard that it is possible to fix with a Linux Live Session disk or something.
Is it possible to fix it that way?
Oh and also, I've tried using the one from the windows admin bypass to see if that works, but for some reason, the hard drive can't be detected. If this can't be displayed for the solution, just PM me with the details.
Thanks!
