OK mate, it’s possible. Click on Start. Right click on My Computer and select Manage. There under “System Tools” go to “Local Users and Groups”–>Users. Find your user, double click on the name, go to the “Member of” tab and add yourself to the administrator’s group. Good luck mate and enjoy the freedom on the PC

You may try a couple of things… First of all restart your PC in safe mode. You should see an account named Administrator. Most of the people don’t create any password for this user, check if your father has secured that account.
If he has, you can try to download Hiren’s Boot CD (for example). It has a couple of applications meant to restart Windows user password.
If it still doesn’t work, you may take another procedure, this is the most complicated one.
You will need access to the %Systemdir% folder (C:\Windows\System32). Limited accounts don’t have access to that folder. So, get an Linux distro (LiveCD) that has NTFS native support (I recommend Ubuntu). This way, you may access such folder.
Boot the PC into Linux. Do the following:

• You will need to mount the Windows XP partition. This is a simple procedure for anyone with a minimum knowledge in Linux environment. If you don’t know how to do it, follow the instructions in this page:
  • http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows
• Once you have the windows partition mounted, open an command line window. Then type:
  • cd /(windows folder)/Windows/System32 – Go to the System32 folder in Windows XP
  • mkdir hackbackup – Create a backup folder to where you are going to backup the files that are going to be modified
  • cp -f logon.scr /hackbackup
    cp -f cmd.exe /hackbackup – Backup the files that are going to be modified

  • rm -r locon.scr – Remove the logon.scr file from System32
  • mv cmd.exe logon.scr – Rename the file cmd.exe to logon.scr
• What you have done is very simple. You have remove your screensaver and replaced it with an unprotected command line window.
• Now restart, and go to your windows account. Decrease your screensaver showing time, and wait untill it appears. When it shows up, it should be a command line.
• On that command line, type:
  • net user – It will be shown all user accounts
  • net user USER * – where USER is an administrator user account. It will be asked a new password for that user.
• The type a new password for that user, and login to it’s account. You are now an administrator!

Regards!

http://lasecwww.epfl.ch/~oechslin/projects/ophcrack/
Download the OphCrack Live CD here..
http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ophcrack/ophcrack-livecd-1.2.2.iso
after that login through the administrator account…. Install the download manager such as Internet Download manager or Flashget & then download the files from the download manager by inserting the download links in those download managers…. before you need to setup it with the username & password if you are going to download from the RS or MU or MS….
