There are linux bootdisks floating around the 'net that will let you
reset the admin passwd.  You can then login using that account and grant
yourself any rights you want.  Look for ntpasswd on google.

These disks will only help with Windows Workstations for local Administrator
accounts and Windows Servers which are not Domain Controllers.
