Get administrative access ...

But, seriously .... You'll need admin access. What OS?

I am using Windows 2000.
Actually they are spyware and ad. software, but I do not have administrator access to uninstall them.

umm......this is my company machine.
Those tools will erase/reset the original administrator password.
Is there are other method than getting access to administrator a/c?
Thanks!!!!

Something else to consider:

I can't speak for any other network admin here, but if I knew of a user on my network that was actively trying to bypass security, I would be reporting it in detail to upper management.

I would suggest that you take the issue to the IT department, and let them know what you need done and why. Why risk your job over an unwanted app or two?

I second that Chevy. I have about 3 people attack me every day in hallways begging for local admin rights to install something. Usually I do it... But if your risking your job by asking how to "crack it" and I saw that.. You would be in deep doodoo..
Don't waste your time.. ask an administrator. If you don't know who they are..ask around. We are pretty nice.. Hec.. bribe us with some caffine.
Don't lose your job.. And dont forget "big brother knows all" even in Hong Kong.
