Are you sure? I changed a password from a laptop I didn't knew what the password was yesterday. Just like I said to arox.
local user != domain user 
a domain user is a user where everything is stored in LDAP on the AD server... whereas a local user, is just a local user.
going back to domain users for a second, the credentials do get stored on the local machine, in case there are no local users and the connection to the AD server is unavailable. but as soon as you contact the AD server again, it'll pull down the appropriate settings.

if it is a school pc, and your... *not* in school just access the admins pc and change his pc, reset all limits and fill his/her pc full of spy ware or brick it.
if not... who buys a school pc's their shitty spec :|
a person who goes to a school that doesn't allow outside hardware?
every schools ive been is was cool about laptops/pc's as long as they ran the same security as the school was locked etc....
but who cares... what do you do in a pc class apart from ecdl and look at your porn facebook
We have quad-core PC's here
But GPU's are shit like GeForce 9400GT so no Crysis
AroX, have you tried to run ophcrack with Vista free tables?
But he's asking about a local user, isn't he? He said he has a school machine, presumably meaning it's in his possession and not at school, unless his story is complete bullshit. Getting Admin on the domain in our school was pretty easy too, what kind of a competent tech guy leaves "admin" as a full Admin login with no password
The same one who leaves the default admin login on all the wireless routers in the place I suppose, but that means I can sell places on the MAC whitelist so I'm not complaining 
I think they blocked so you cant boot via cd, because there is a login to do that when i got to boot menu
That doesn't work either :/
But is there a program that types in every possible password and finds the rigth one?
sounds like disk encryption... keeps people from stealing the laptops and formatting them.
do you know how long that would take?
plus, the NT based windows OSes have some sort of timer built into them, so if you fail the password 3 times it'll lock the computer for 5 minutes.
I think it's BIOS password not disk encryption, isn't it?
Well you always can take disk off laptop, connect to your main PC using some HDD case and format it.
I dont want to format it!! I want to keep the files!
Or else they will notice it :/

So you didn't actually buy it?
If you did you wouldn't have to be afraid of "them noticing it".
I bougth it, but for low price, so have to use that laptop for school work untill i quit. When i quit i have to pay a tiny bit more and they will remove all the blocking, and tada, my pc.
So basicly, the pc is 50% mine and 50% school.

we had win98 machines.
my xp machine ( running stripped down basic at the time ) was like it was from 2020.
they got new machines... Same spec, with vista installed :doh:
Well that sucks, if you bought it off them then you should legally own it.
Could you tell me the make + model of the laptop then ill possibly be able to help you remove that bios password :-)
just get your money back and get a working one - you got mugged.
Sorry for bump but Shadowww, i got an idea how to find admin password.
When i have somekind of problem with my pc i can go to the nerds and they will type in the admin pass and help me.
If there is a way that a program saves what it logged in with. So when i go to my acc, there is a logg that says the password.
Come on shadowww boy, find out how to do it >:-)

Thats it!!
please note that using a keylogger in most countries, and most instances, is illegal.
Surely that depends on their use (i.e. when an invasion of privacy or to steal data), rather than their mere existence?
Niko, isn't that too expensive?
There are software keyloggers too.

And how would a keylogger help in this case? SW keylogger is completely useless, he cannot install anything on his limited user account. Any other keylogger is useless too unless you make an admin to log onto your PC.
Since you cannot boot from CD (btw, there is usually a boot-menu which doesn't require a password, try pressing F10 - F12 during boot), there is another way left. You can try pwdump7 to get the password hashes and use them to calculate the password. I don't know if pwdump7 works when you account has a limited privileges, but it's worth a try.

He's bought the computer, which no doubt means it's now at his home. As he doesn't know the password, who will type it in for him.
Unless he hasn't bought the computer, and is just trying to break into the school systems because he's a dumbass.

You didn't read anything above.
I have a laptop, that i own 50% on and school 50%, I payed 800 kr (about 100 dollar (bad guess) and it cost orginally 5000kr (I can use it whereever i want) But at the end of the school year, I need to pay another 800 kr to have it 100% mine, or else they will take it back.
If i pay then i have the admin, and i can install stuff on it.
Atm I have no admin, and i want to figure it out, there is no system or shit.
I only want to know the admin password to install programs i use on my main pc. I dont want to fock up anything
If i have a pc problem i can go to them and they go on the admin account
