Ok, here's the story: in our classroom we have a computer, one which we share with the 9th graders that study in the afternoon (we study in the morning). These guys have managed to screw the system so bad so we couldn't even reinstall windows. After all, I think they somewhat managed to get it back working and installed Windows. They created their password-protected user (Windows XP), but left the Administrator paswordless. I got into safe mode and through the Administrator account I created an account for ourselves, an admin account, password protected.
However, I think they guessed our password, because now our account is a limited one and the Administrator account is password-protected.
I need help on how to get our account back to administratorship, because we need to install at least the drivers (!), as it seems the 9th graders know how to break our password but they are clueless about those things called drivers (they didn't installed them so far) . Besides that, I need to know if I can stop any user from reinstalling windows or somehow protecting my account so they won't limit us again.
I don't really want to go and talk to the computer administrator, as the tech guys in our school are really retarted and I think he'll screw it up even more...
