Hack registry to change membership

[Bob]

Hey.

I have a workstation (2k), which someone has renamed the
administrator account, and messed it up. - Interactive
logon not permitted as admin!, cannot access group policy
to alter local security policy either!

Now i need to change the membership of another user to get
in as an admin.

I have the linux cd which resets passwords and allows
access to reg, but im unsure how to change membership in
reg.

Any ideas?
Thanks

See the link below on a couple of things to try. If you have another
computer on the network, ntrights is the easiest way to restore right to
logon locally. Keep in mind that with ntrights the right is case
sensitive. --- Steve
