Isn't there a way to make yourself an admin on a computer (running win2k) if you have a win 2k disk? if yes how can i do that?
 
you do not need the disk, you just need to know the admin password to open the local users applet. Then you add yourself to the administrators group.
click start > run > and type "control userpasswords" > click OK
Go to the advanced tab, then click on the advanced button. Add youself to the admin group!
 
don't know admin password... and im just wondering how, because i thought i read it somewhere.
 
you will need to know the admin password. If not, you will have to replace the sam file with one that you know the admin password to. Or fins a way to brute force the password.
