I have a problem with my Windows account and I'd be very, very happy

if you could help me.

Here's my problem: my Windows account is limited, it can't install any

software which I'm looking a solution for.

I don't know administrator password. I've thought to find or reset it.

I've found several programs for this but they require booting from

either floppy or cd-rom and my first boot device is set to hdd. I

can't enter bios either, it's also password protected. I'm afraid to

pull bios battery..

I only want to able to install software. Can you please give me any

light on this?

Start here:

For a Desktop and the BIOS password, removing the BIOS battery is the
easiest and best way.
Have a competent friend help if you are unsure about the BIOS battery.

Don't know the administrator password. Don't know the BIOS password.
BIOS was configured to only boot from hard drive precisely to eliminate
wannabe hackers from booting from CD or floppy to load an alternate OS.

You want to install software when you aren't allowed to do so. Ask you
parents to either let you or have them install the software or whine to
have them buy you your own PC. If it is company property, ask your IT
department for permission (which means they will have to install it
since they aren't going to give you admin privileges which they already
have denied to you).
