How Do I override admin privileges?

Question

I share a cpu with my aunt and she decided to make my account limited and hers an admin account (with a password) is there a way of overiding these priveleges or accessing her account without her knowing?

Answer 1

when you turn on the computer try putting it in safe mode by hitting F8 a lot when it just turns on until you get a screen with about 10-15 choices, then choose safe mode or safe mode with networking depending on what you want to do, and you'll see three accounts now: you your aunt, and administrator
try administrator as it might not require a password
get on google and search for "windows password cracker" and then... you get the idea, right?

Answer 2

(Assuming your computer runs on XP
I do not know if you can do this with other things)

The only way you can do this is if you know the password to her account. If you do go to control panel, on her account, ...click user accounts...click user accounts again. Then click change an account. Click the name of your account and then click change type. There you can make it an adminstrator. But this may make your aunt mad be careful. Or another way is you can create a new account... but I do not know if limited account lets you create another account. The best way is just talking to your aunt and telling her your problem though. ;)

Hope this helps

EDIT: If you do the thing above and the adminstrator requires no password then just do the things I told you.
