It's just that my friend's (no, not me ) computer has 2 user accounts on it, one has admin rights and the other not.

Now, the only person who had the password to the admin account has done a runner and we don't know the password.

The administrator account has a password on it, but I can't be sure if has been changed or not.

I swear to god that this is genuine and not dodgy. PM with the info if you like.
Can`t you just boot into safe mode and delete the password on the Admin account that way?
