456089 2006-05-19 09:53:00 I just bought a second hand PC, and I don't have admin access. I Tried using the net user command in DOS, I can create new users, but I can't give them admin access.
When I use the command: net user localgroup "Administrators" <usernamehere> /add
all I get is a message telling me the correct syntaxes (which I don't know how to use):

456095 2006-05-19 15:14:00 You will need to be an administrator to create administrator accounts, suggest you try the site zqwerty linked to. Rob99 (151)
456096 2006-05-19 20:42:00 Or boot into recovery console, however u do that and fix it.

Since XP doesnt have true DOS anyway. If this is whats on this PC.

Or just format it. That'll fix it.

456097 2006-05-19 23:17:00 The thing is, I lied in my original post, I am doing this at college, I only want admin so I can set up the account on the network so I can access the internet using it (I can use the internet on my proper user account, but it has restrictions in terms of downloading).

I also wanted to set it up so I can access the HDD remotely from anywhere on the network (I know how to do this, but I also need admin for this).

So, if anyone knows how to use the syntaxes to change the user account to admin, I would appreciate the help.

- Thanks, Dave
