769103 2009-04-28 03:51:00 yeah but that needs a password reset disk which can not be made unless you are logged in nedkelly (9059)
769104 2009-04-28 04:01:00 Nice Link Somebody :thumbs: Best bookmark that one, as this questions gets asked a LOT.

Got other software to unlock / remove passwords, but not to show the hidden "Real" admin acount - theat normally done Via Windows.

Cheers.

769105 2009-04-28 04:10:00 there is another way to do it without using a program and there is a way to get rid of uac for admin but no one else.
Which i know lots of people would like to be able to do.
