Download this ISO file:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group...
Burn it onto a CD. Boot the PC with this CD and the PC will load Linux and automatically load the Ophcrack program. This program will then attempt to brute force attack the passwords of user accounts held in the SYSTEM and SAM files located in c:\windows\system32\config
The time this will take will depend on the complexity of the passwords.
Once you have the administrator password, remove the CD, reboot the PC and try to log on as the administrator.
For this to work, the PC needs to be set to boot first from the CD. If its not, change the boot order in the BIOS. If you dont have access to the BIOS, you have a problem.

You can crack the admin privilege using hack tools... a knoppix bootable CD with suitable software on to let it see NTFS and manage the user account details... they are for sale on eBay.
But ask yourself...
Do you want to piss off your sysadmin people plus potentially fall foul of your company acceptable use policy? You could get banned from using computers / get a written warning / get sacked / get walked off site / get taken to court depending on what policy you agreed to. Is it worth it?

You're out of luck. The only way for you to get admin priviledge is by having another admin give you that priviledge.

When I bought my computer {it's re-built} they automatically put me in as the administrator.
When I turn my PC on, a window appears to where I have to log in with my PW.
I would call where you bought your computer and ask them.

It's blocked for a reason. I do know how you feel though. I wouldn't reccommend trying anything.
