I have a dell lattitude laptop, I know the user password, but I don't know the admin password. I would like to format the hdd and install win98. I can not do this because I don't have admin rights.

You can't remove the OS from the OS. Outside of the OS rights and user accounts don't matter. Download delpart.exe from MS and boot up on a 98 boot floppy with this utility. Use it to remove all partitions. Use fdisk to create a new partition. Reboot. Format the partition. Reboot. Install 98
