Our school recently gave us new laptops as part of the schools renovation. They are HP omnibook 500's. They are running windows 2000 professional. For security reasons, they have no cd-rom drives. Of course we are not trusted with full privledges, so we have our own name and password on a "strict limitation" account. There is no added security other then windows security. My main goal before the year is over is to obtain the administrator name and password (If anyone can help me with this issue, please e-mail me at
[email protected]). However something wierd has been happening to my machine lately, occasionaly (Not everytime), when my machine goes on standby, then recovers, I am able to access thing I was not prior able to access. For instance, they restrict us from accessing the desktop control panel. When my machine comes back from standby, I have full acces to that. Also, I have full access to the control panel as well. I am also allowed to add hardware. and a few other things are now accessible. My question is simple, why does this sometimes happen, and how can I make sure this happens all the time? (So I have these privledges) If anyone can help me with this or obtaining the administrator password please post or e-mail. thanks
