missing Administrator-account on XP Professional
Hey guys!
I got a computer here with a windows xp professional OS and I want to install some softwares. The problem is, that there is just one user on this computer which has no administration rights. So with this user I can't do anything and it's impossible to create a new user with administration right because I haven't got the rights for it.
What can I do ?

Hi sethsunday,
I will be glad to help you. Request you to let me know the system model (is it Latitude d410?) along with the operating system version. I will check and let you know what can be done.
