i cant transfer it anyhow.. cd writer is locked.. laptop is under guarentee period... and there are many such problem...
the only answer to this is i need to find or reset the Administrators Account Or the account with the Administrators rights....
Sounds like your a bit fooked but you could try the following Reset Admin password
But you say that you cd-rom drive is locked (what do you mean?) in which case the above isn't much help but there you go.
You could just install a parallel version of XP or try http://sourceforge.net/projects/austrumi.
I have heard good things from collegues but have not fully tested it myself so far - supposed to be jolly good though.
As several have suggested, use a live linux distro, retrieve data, reinstall Windows and if you do insist on having a password, this time write it down somewhere safe.
