A reset disk for system passwords is an absolute essential.

I don't know my master admin account password...

Though i guess i don't need it, i'll just decrypt/hack w/e my way in.

Necessary often to use adminstrator in safe mode. Without the password that's not too easy...

However, there are always ways and means.

I can only trust myself with my PC, not that there is anything confidential or nasty on my PC, but friends have been ripped off by going to places such as PC World and getting ripped off for "faulty equipment" which were never faulty in the first place. I built my PC and will fix my PC whether it means teaching myself how to in the process :P I find it fun and interesting anyway...if I could, I'd do the same with my car - but I have a mechanic friend who will look at it for me, and there's obviously greater risks with thinking I've fixed things in my car, only for it to blow up ;P
