theweaselkingI have in my possession a laptop running Windows XP Home. I know the local administrator password, for the user Administrator.
I know the password for a user account on the machine.
There is a second Administrator account on the machine, to which I do not have the password
The problem:
It's got that abysmally stupid XP-style "choose your user" screen, where you must click on the username you want to use - and local admin isn't one of the options.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
Using only user-level access to the machine, either find a way to change that setting to the more traditional user/pass prompt, or find a different way for me to log in using the administrator username and password that I have.
