Any suggestions to gain control of my admin account?

    Well. Im at work. I have one computer that has 3 limited accounts and one admin. This admin account was made by a guy who used to work for the company over a year ago. So no one knows the password. Could some one recommend a method to get access? I can't make a password recovery disc. I would have to be the admin to make one.

    the computer manufacturers support center should be able to get you in.

    i really expected better from Dell, to tell you that means you'll lose everything you don't have access too.
    maybe there is a brute force way of doing it, i just don't know for sure.

    sorry my suggestion failed.

    I think I saw a program a few months ago for something like that.
