Probably too late, but just reboot it in safe mode, that usually gets around that password.

set up another account on that account install apache web server on your computer. make your server root c:\documents and settings\your user name. open a web browser. go to http://127.0.0.1 and you can go through all of your files. if you need help editing the configuration file just ask

plus if you cant make another account on the computer. restart it and keep hitting f8 while its restarting, log in under administrator and make another account.

If you still need help i have a "boot disk" that you simply put into your comp and restart..what it does is runs the OS right off of the disk..i got it from a buddy at the pentagon..i'm sure i could rip the files from it and send them to you? let me know

if you are able to log onto any account on the comp i have a program that you install and and run from dos and it will brute force all user names and passwords for that comp. so if it was loaded with the school image then you would have the admin password for all the others as well.

its probably all too late.. punch the guy who changed the password on you when you see him.

btw..brute force only works if the password is around 7 characters in length, keep adding more, and the time to crack it grows exponentially. (especially if its case sensitive, includes numbers, & special characters)

You could try, installing that HardDrive to another computer.
