On my grandmas computer, I created an admin account so my cousin couldnt get on myspace. Somehow my uncle accidentally changed the admin account to a standard user and now there are 2 standard user accounts and no admin account. So wenever we try 2 install a program or change ne settings, it wont even let me run the windows intallation disk so i can reset it. now the only thing i can think 2 do is get a new harddrive. does ne1 no how to fix this problem?

Just to let you know up front, we don't help with recovering passwords.

That being said, I'd suggest getting a copy of the restore DVD's for your system from the system manufacturer.
Backup all your stuff before using the disk, as it'll wipe the system clean when it reinstalls Windows.
