Difficult password situation deastr 02-12-2007

 I have a problem with my Windows account and I'd be very, very happy
if you could help me.

Here's my problem: my Windows account is limited, it can't install any
software which I'm looking a solution for.

I don't know administrator password. I've thought to find or reset it.
I've found several programs for this but they require booting from
either floppy or cd-rom and my first boot device is set to hdd. I
can't enter bios either, it's also password protected. I'm afraid to
pull bios battery..

I only want to able to install software. Can you please give me any
light on this?

Who is the administrator? They would have to install the software or move
your account into the admin group on that computer.

Hi !

Contact your system administrator, I'm sure he will be able to help you !

It appear that your system administrator is doing a good job.

Please do not multi-post (sending identical post separately
to multiple newsgroups). Instead, when multiple newsgroups
are appropriate, please use cross-posting (sending one post
to the multiple newsgroups) as this keeps all responses in one
single thread wherever they were made.
