    Help ! I have forgotten my administrator password how can I reclaim it or create a new one? my system tells me I can't change or add an account because I'm not logged in as ADMINISTRATOR.

      find a program called erd commander. this is a great program for working in a network environment where some knuclehead might have changed your admin password too.. there are other utilities built into it as well but the locksmith is a real godsend

      This allows you to get in with no password at all. I didn't try it and it looks like a very hard process.

      Look here:
