In other words, you have a computer to which you need admin access, but can't
Only way is through a bootable CD.

Greetings ~

To Fire Cat~

You said : "Only way is through a bootable CD. "

Even then (if im not mistaken) .. they would still only be able to transfer files.. unless they new all the commands to relinquish control..this is of course if your talking using a Linux based Live (bootable) cd.


I get the feeling this thread will not get any viable(meaning need or want to know) responses

Just my thoughts.

Think about it. How good would the software be if you could override the security settings so as a non-admin you could grant yourself to admin powers.

Too many ~s D:

No, I didn't mean a Linux LiveCD. I meant a bootable CD made specificaly for changing passwords and such. There are quite a few. Google it, I can't remember.
