How do I obtain administration rights on an XP Home SP2 fully updated. I
have a piece of software (syncback) which will not permit me to run a
scheduled backup. It wants the password to the user who is logged on (me,
duh). I am "administrator" but I have no password set on my "owner" account
because I'm the only one using the machine. Thanks.

your convenience by following these easy instructions:
