Requiring admin password

Okay,

I have a laptop running XP Pro version 2002 - I don't know is that's SP1 or 2

There are 3 admin accounts - all of them password protected and I don't have any of the passwords for any of them.

Is there a way to install a program without being on a limited account?
I have tried most websites and I really would appreciate a reply - even one telling me that I haven't a hope in hell or if I can keep my sanity

Thanks!

There is obviously a reason why you have not been given Administrator privilege.

Why don't you ask one of the Administrators to elevate your status?

He's never here

And he's sort of in another country on business for the next few months

I would if I could - but I can't really ask him that.


Thanks anyway.
