    i dont keep admin on my computer and one my friends decided to play a practical joke and creat a admin account and lock me out and cut all privileges he did this while he was over at my house so is there any program or any way i can get into his account
    im using xp home edition he has a pretty long password btw

    also i dont want to use system restore i have alot of important files and he locked all mine in his account and i dont want to reinstall xp

    thanks in advance

    OK... first of all, you HAVE to have an "Administrator" account. Try NTAccess (theres a thread around here)
    you need to boot into it, following the instructions in the readme.txt file that comes with it, and you should be able to reset the Administrator account.

    Did you say this is your machine?
    Did you deliberately do something to your own account as everybody by default has admin privelidges on XP Home

    Have you tried pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the logon screen and signing in as owner with no password
